canon s90 is my new favorite camera
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010
After years of collecting cameras and hunting for the perfect one to take on holiday, I finally found a point-and-shoot camera that I can love — the Canon S90. What Canon has done is taken many of the features of its professional G series and put them in a consumer camera that you can put in your pocket. Amazing.
My favorite things about this camera–
1. You have 2 adjustment wheels – one on the lens and one on the back of the camera. That means that you can quickly adjust the exposure of your shots, the speed, the flash level, whatever you want. (Or go completely automatic.) So no more black silhouettes and overexposed heads…
2. It has an f2 lens. What this means is that it gets much more light than most cameras. So when you are shooting in a dimly lit space or at dusk, you can still get a shot without turning on the flash.
3. 10 mega-pixels and tiny. And reasonably priced ($400-500 depending on where you shop).
4. It’s Canon – and in my experience, they have the fastest focusing point-and-shoot cameras out there right now. Which means fewer shots that are wildly out of focus…
