whopping 420 photos

DCRP Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90:DcResource

Picture Package Editing Editing functionality is new to v 1.6 of Picture Package it's pretty basic (and as poorly designed as the rest of the software). Colors are accurate and saturated, and the subject is sharp. Images were sharp and well exposed with good color and respectable purple fringing levels. Focus speeds were good, ranging from 0.3 - 0.5 seconds at the wide end of the lens and slightly longer at the telephoto end. Shutter lag was very low, even at slower shutter speeds where it... *

3X optical zoom lens should look familiar to you."

a setup menu (accessible from the record or playback menu), which has the following options: Camera 1 Single AF is just like you're used to: press the shutter release halfway and the camera locks focus."

more powerful batteries"
"
Battery life is exceptional, especially given the fact that the S90 only uses two AA batteries."
"
This charger is very slow, taking six hours to fully charge the battery (buying a faster charger may not be a bad idea)."

the camera provides solid image quality

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 Digital Camera:DigitalCameraReview

There are also 2 JPEG compression settings: Fine and Standard. Noise levels were good at ISO 80 and 100. At ISO 400 noise levels were pretty high. Auto focus is quick, even in dark areas (with the help of the focus assist light). The built-in flash has a range up to 12.5 feet. A nice feature is the live histogram when capturing images to let you know if a shot is under- or over-exposed. The body is primarily plastic, so it's also not heavy. There is a hand grip for your right hand that makes... *

a great digital camera

A 3x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar optical zoom lens also adds a nice touch to this point-and-shoot digital camera. *

its middling image quality won't impress ambitious shutterbugs.

The camera gives you some guidance in this mode, comparing your settings to what it considers optimal for the subject. The large size of the display makes reviewing your pictures enjoyable, and also improves the rudimentary trimming you can do on-camera. *

quite reasonable images

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90:GOODGEARGUIDE

A good camera that does many things very well. It is let down a little by its design and the fact that it costs about the same as many higher resolution models.

pretty basic image viewer

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90:DcResource

Images were sharp and well exposed with good color and respectable purple fringing levels. The camera is PictBridge-enabled, allowing for direct printing to compatible photo printers. Focus speeds were good, ranging from 0.3 - 0.5 seconds at the wide end of the lens and slightly longer at the telephoto end. Shutter lag was very low, even at slower shutter speeds where it sometimes crops up. If you go one image at a time, the next one appears instantly, without any low resolution placeholder.... *
