PowerShot S90! users.. Come In!!


That is quite a good price! About $50-$70 cheaper than Sg equivalent.

Low Yat is actually the name of the shopping complex in KL which specialises in electronics and computer goods - its like the equivalent of SLS/Funan in Sg.

hi hi, how about shuttle lag, how is it like... also, the speed of the autofocus to lock under normal situation, will it take long time... 10s..
 

Hi! Just got my s90 from song brothers.. Before anyone goes WHOA, they didn't try to chop me at all leh..well they tried to sell me a 2nd hand batt for $30 but i turned them down lol. Somemore the price was the same as MS color and cheaper than CP. SLR Revo and J3:16 no stock so no choice..

Anyway it's a really great cam! Enjoying it since yesterday..

I was just gonna go 'Whoa!' until I read the rest of the sentence :bsmilie:. Anyway, how much did you get it for as I am looking for this camera soon and just in case John or CP no stock.
 

haha i got it for $670 with gst. MS color selling at $670 also and CP $690.. Got a kingston card from them instead of the pendrive one cos you need to go vivo collect..
 

couldn't resist and got mine today for $670 at TK. ;p

and for the hell of it, i decided to compare this with my ancient G7 (also 10MP, albeit way older tech), at 35mm @ f8. all shot on my tripod at Manual, normal colour saturation at small-size file setting. these are all straight from the camera.

G7 vs S90 @ iso100 (not much of a diff)

G7:

G7 vs S90 @ iso800 (this is when, IMO, S90's Digic4 wipes the floor on G7)

IMO, the s90 is usable up to ISO800. anything more than dat is a matter of "die die must get the shot" situation for me. really a leap in image quality for me. can't wait for the battery to fully charge so that i can take it out for a spin... :p

Yes the difference is really big. Thanks for sharing
Also as suggested by previous posts in previous page remember to keep track to the battery life as it is relatively short.

shutter lag? eh.. i dun time it. its snappy enuf for me, as expected of a PnS. i was using center-AF.
 

S90 really good in the iso noise performance (P&S standard or course).

If only it does not have that irritating self raising flash!
 

Do you guys enable I-contrast all the time? If not, why?

someone in the canon R&D dept has been watching too many transformer movies... :sweatsm:

anyway, here's something i tried just now.

flare test (a little flaring, not as bad as i think it would. obvious CA present. click on pic to see original):



s90 @ f2 (not too bad bokeh, for a PnS. forget abt getting those creamy bokehs from DSLR lenses, and you will be quite happy.... :sweat: click on pic to see original)

SLR Revo is just opposite JO3:16
IMO, Class 4 is good enough, since if you record movie, also just normal movie.

Anyone try out infrared with this baby ah??

The official S90 leather case is out in HK. It is a very handsome looking hard brown leather case with a magnet contact closer. Highly recommended compared with the "doggy" free gift case.

I got mine from Man Shing in Mongkok costs HKD250.

You might want to check with Canon Singapore when their shipment will arrive.

Bro, dun say dun hv picher hor..:P

Brudders, anyone noe where to get this awesome S90 brown leather holster style case?

Its just like the one for the lX3!

wondering if can get cheaper anywhere else?

Pls see:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ORI-Brown-Leath...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item439c46b86c

Refer above post in previous few pages. Should cost HKD250 from HK
Sg should still don't have yet.
 

Just buy a Bagman case that fits exactly and it is in soft foam padding without all the hard edges and bulk.

Challenger sell it for only $12. Other places may be cheaper.

I have 1 and it fits the S90 like a glove.
