To Go Neon (Canon S90) This image is being shared to show the IS capability of the Canon S90. This image was taken after the sun set at f/2, ISO 80, and 0.30 second exposure. The composition is nothing to call home about, but I thought you might like to see how the camera handles with a low ISO handheld at night. We all know that cameras today can achieve high ISOs with relatively lower noise than last generation cameras. I could have taken this at ISO 800 and a faster shutter, but for me, there still is too much noise at the higher ISOs. October 12, 2009
Purple Potato Macro (Canon S90) The macro function on the Canon S90 works pretty well. The camera focuses extremely close at the widest focal length, but once the lens is zoomed at all, a longer working distance is required. The Canon S90 has an option for the center of the screen to be magnified. Once AF-Point Zoom is is activated the focusing area is magnified, thus assisting in achieving sharp macro shots! Just like all the other great Canon compacts, the S90's macro function is activated by pressing a dedicated button inside the back scroll-wheel. Overall, the Canon S90 handles beautifully. The camera is perfect for my needs; just small enough for a pocket and enough resolving power as well. (This image was captured at a whopping 6.0mm, at f/2.5 with an ISO of 80.) October 12, 2009
