Canon S90
by Nervo
In USA I bought myself a new toy, the Canon S90.
I really needed a compact camera with full manual settings and ofter lot’s of research I decided to go with this model ( my alternative would have been the Panasonic Lumix LX3)
Specs:
Lens: 6.0 – 22.5mm f/2.0 – 4.9. (equivalent to 28-105mm.)
This is the main reason of my choise!
Diaphragm: Genuine 6-bladed diaphragm.
Shutter: 15 seconds – 1/1,600.
Sensor: 1/1.7.” - 10MP
Real CCD, not just CMOS.

Also 2,816 x 2,112 (M1), 2,272 x 1,704 (M2), 1,600 x 1,200 (M3), 640 x 480 (S), 3,648 x 2,048 cropped (W).
Movies: 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 @ 30 fps. (No HD.)
ISO: AUTO, 80 – 3,200.

No hot shoe — until now I never used even the pop up flash…
LCD: 3″ Correct full-height 3:4 aspect ratio. 461k pixels.
Body Covers: Metal
Power: NB-6L Battery - CB-2LY flip-plug charger (USA).
(CB-2LYE is the corded charger.)
Rated 220 shots per charge.
1 hr 55 min maximum charge time.

Canon specifies 6.17 oz. (175g), with no batteries or card.
I had the opportunity to try it in New York. So stay tuned for some test shoots in the next post.
