Canon IXUS 90 IS ReviewSome of them like the Canon IXUS 90 IS are smaller than a deck of cards. The only concern of these small cameras is how well they actually perform. However, the IXUS 90 is generally seen to be durable and it has plenty of nice features that are commonly found in the larger models. Camera Design
The Canon IXUS 90 IS is a lot less wider
than commonly seen cameras, but the front part of the camera has the
familiar layout with the lens and flash on the right side. What is stunning about this small camera is that it has a large PureColor LCD II display measuring 3.0 inches diagonally which is very impressive considering the many larger models only having 2.7" or even 2.5" displays. Because this large display takes up most of the back side, the buttons that are used for operating the device had to be crammed up and the mode wheel removed. Instead, a convenient switch is found above for switching camera modes and the control dial retains at a usable position in the middle doubling as a sub-mode dial and the other buttons in between the switch and disc. Camera Features
There are no major strong points regarding the features of the Canon
IXUS 90 IS, but the model does manage to have a 10-megapixel CDD
imager.The optical zoom is a bit on the weaker end having only 3x which is equal to 35-105mm for moderate wide-angle and telephoto photography, but a lot of credit should be given to the way it handles lighting and exposure. It is powered by the dated DIGIC III Image Processor that includes decent Face Detection capabilities, good blur reduction, and red-eye elimination. The Face Detection corrects certain instances where the skin tones are affected by the lighting by calculating an appropriate white balance value. Multiple faces are supported and the sensor keeps these faces in focus. It works alongside the Motion Detection Technology which dramatically decreases the blur while keeping the exposure control optimized. It removes the complexity in setting the ISO settings manually so images stay clear and sharp for critical moments. He Optical Image Stabilizer also plays a role in cancelling out camera shakes. Extra Features
Canon PIXMA Photo Printer or PictBridge
compatible printer owners can enjoy the Print/Share
button which takes advantage of the USB interface
to print photos directly from the camera.28 different sizes can be chosen as well as a special print function that can be applied to recorded movies where multiple stills are printed on a selected paper size. The Canon IXUS 90 IS is a small and fun camera to use for multiple non-professional occasions and the large screen makes it fun to review shots. Although it is overshadowed by many new models in the PowerShot lineup, the price is much lower dipping down to $200. Wish to know more about digital photography?
