Canon PowerShot S90 Features Wide Aperture F/2.0 Lens And Customizable Control Ring

Canon has announced the launch of its new compact, pocket-sized digital camera, named as Canon PowerShot S90, which features exceptionally bright f/2.0 lens that great for shooting in low light conditions (twice as much light into the camera as an f/2.8 lens so photographers can use faster shutter speeds to reduce blur), including a strong heritage and impressive range of technologies to enhance your photography experience.

Key features of Canon PowerShot S90:

• 10 megapixel image sensor coupled with Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor designed as the High Sensitivity System
• Large 3-inch PureColor System LCD (461k dot resolution) delivers greater true life color reproduction
• Wide aperture f/2.0 wide-angle lens with 3.8x optical zoom and Optical Image Stabilization
• Customizable control ring (at base of the lens barrel) for easy access and operation of manual or other creative shooting settings
• Canon’s Intelligent Contrast Correction technology delivers a wider dynamic range to reduce high-light blowout while retaining low-light detail
• High sensitivity ISO 3200 and Low Light scene mode for ISO settings up to 12,800
• Wide range of powerful manual and automatic controls, as well as RAW format shooting
• Smart Auto with Scene Detection technology
