Abstract: One of the surprise success stories of last year was the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 , a premium compact camera featuring a 1/1.63-inch 10.1-megapixel sensor, a 3.0-inch 460k monitor, and an extremely high quality f/2.0 - f/2.8 wide-zoom lens. Costing a subst...

Abstract: Usually I'd spend a lot of time running through features and talking about performance before giving you the bottom line on Canon's new pocketable camera. But I just can't be coy about this one.The S90 is the best compact camera I've ever used.Oh, you'...
Superb control ring on lens; excellent image quality; able to shoot raw files; compact body; straightforward design
Rear controller can be frustrating; lack of a hi-def movie mode

Compact and light; useful features such as time-lapse mode; options for choosing AF frame size; quick to focus; fast performance.
Picture quality starts to deterioriate from ISO 400; control ring operation can be cumbersome; no multi-aspect mode.
Abstract: In recent years, the PowerShot G-series has been Canon's prosumer camera line, and part of what makes the G-series so popular is the fact that they have bigger sensors than your usual compact camera.A larger sensor usually gives you sharper, clearer image...
The Canon PowerShot S90 offers a compelling package in a small body: great ISO performance lets you shoot at ISO800, and even take quite a few chances at ISO1600 - something you cannot say with most, if not all compacts at the moment.Coupled with the f...
