A fast f/2 lens in a pocketable enthusiast compact
The PowerShot S90 pairs a 1/1.7" CCD sensor at 10 megapixels with a 28-105mm equivalent zoom that opens to f/2 at the wide end, a lens speed rarely found in a body this small. Optical image stabilization backs up handheld shots at longer focal lengths and slower shutter speeds, and the macro mode focuses down to 5 cm for close-up work.
Manual exposure, aperture priority, and shutter priority modes are all onboard, with shutter speeds running from 15 seconds to 1/1600 sec and exposure compensation adjustable in 1/3 EV steps across a plus-or-minus 2 stop range. RAW capture sits alongside JPEG Fine and Normal, giving photographers real latitude to correct exposure and white balance after the fact. The 9-point AF system handles focus placement, and manual focus is available when precision matters more than speed.
A 3-inch fixed LCD with 461,000 dots serves as the only means of composing shots, since there's no viewfinder. The Digic 4 processor drives an ISO range from 80 to 3200, useful for available-light shooting in interiors or evening street scenes. At 195 g and 100 x 58 x 31 mm, it's a body built to travel in a jacket pocket than a camera bag, and the built-in flash with a 6.50 m range covers fill-in situations when ambient light runs short.
This is a compact built around control, not just convenience.
Who It's For
Street and travel photographers get a body that disappears into a pocket at 195 g while still offering aperture and shutter priority for deliberate exposure choices. Low-light and interior shooters benefit from the f/2 maximum aperture and an ISO range extending to 3200, letting the S90 gather more light without always reaching for flash. Photographers who want to edit later will appreciate RAW capture alongside JPEG, useful for adjusting exposure and color balance in post. Macro and close-up shooters can work down to 5 cm, making tabletop and detail shots practical without an accessory lens.

FAQ
- What lens does the S90 have?
- A 28-105mm equivalent zoom that opens to f/2 at the wide end. That f/2 aperture is rarely found in a pocket compact, and the 3.8x optical zoom covers wide to short telephoto without needing to reach for a bag full of lenses.
- Can you shoot RAW on the S90?
- Yes. RAW sits alongside JPEG Fine and Normal, so you get latitude to correct exposure and white balance after the fact instead of relying on the camera's initial pass.
- What are the manual exposure controls?
- Manual mode, aperture priority, and shutter priority are all there. Shutter speeds run from 15 seconds to 1/1600 sec, and you can adjust exposure compensation in 1/3 EV steps across a plus-or-minus 2 stop range.
- How does autofocus work on this camera?
- A 9-point AF system handles focus placement, and manual focus is available when you need to override the autofocus.
- Does the S90 have a viewfinder?
- No viewfinder. A 3-inch fixed LCD with 461,000 dots is your only way to compose, which keeps the body compact but means you're relying on the screen in bright sunlight.
- What ISO range does it offer?
- ISO 80 to 3200, useful for available-light shooting indoors or in evening street scenes without resorting to a tripod or slower shutter speeds.
- How close can you focus for macro work?
- The macro mode focuses down to 5 cm, so you can work in tight for detail shots without extension tubes or supplementary lenses.
