 | IXUS 90 IS Highlights |
 | 10.0 Megapixels The number of megapixels determines the amount of sharp detail a digital camera can record. With more megapixels, you can print at larger sizes, plus crop and enlarge without sacrificing quality. IXUS cameras provide all the resolution you need for finely detailed, photo-quality prints with plenty of scope for post-shoot cropping. A full 10.0 megapixels of resolution ensure rich depth and detail, and lets you enlarge and crop images freely. |
 | 3X Optical Zoom The camera's Genuine Canon 3x Optical Zoom not only gets you in close, but performs with all the clarity and brilliance you'd expect from the world's leader in advanced optics technology. |
 | Optical Image Stabilizer Any slight shake while hand-holding a camera can cause blurred photos. Canon’s optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology ensures crisp, clear images by detecting and correcting this camera shake. The camera is able to microscopically adjust its own lens with absolute accuracy up to 4,000 times every second, so the image you see is the image you capture. Image Stabilizer is especially useful at full zoom, which exaggerates camera movements, and in low-light settings that call for slower shutter speeds. |
 | Motion Detection Technology / High ISO/IS Canon’s Motion Detection Technology uses several methods to detect camera and subject movement and set exposure accordingly. The brightness of subject and background, movement of the subject (based on comparison of frames over time) Face Detection information and camera shake information from the optical Image Stabilizer (IS) gyros are all taken into account. Where motion is detected the camera automatically selects the appropriate ISO level to achieve a shot with minimal noise and zero blur. |
 | Face Detection Technology Utilising the power of DIGIC III, Canon’s Face Detection Technology ensures superb people shots by automatically detecting subjects in the frame and setting the correct focus, flash level and exposure. |
 | Red Eye Correction This popular feature can now remove red-eye automatically during shooting, as well as in playback mode. |
 | DIGIC III The massive processing capacity of DIGIC III paves the way for advanced features such as Face Detection Technology and Red-Eye Correction, while exceptional processing speed delivers outstanding responsiveness, fast and accurate auto focus and extended continuous shooting. Linking all key camera functions for maximum efficiency, all DIGIC processors achieve brilliant image detail, clarity and colour reproduction,while delivering long, high quality movies and more shots from a single charge. |
 | 3.0" LCD Screen The camera's 3.0-inch LCD screen gives you the big picture, whether you're shooting, reviewing or showing off your images. This extra-durable, high-resolution screen with tough scratch-resistant coating on the anti-reflective, PureColor LCD II screen offers a crisp, clear picture to make shooting, playback and using the camera's menu functions especially convenient. |
 | Sunset Scene Mode “Sunset” is added to the Special Scene Modes. This mode optimizes settings such as exposure and white balance, thereby making it possible to reproduce brilliant sunset shots.
|
 | 30 FPS VGA Movies Shoot super-smooth, VGA -quality movies with sound. In-camera editing gives you creative control and slow-motion playback highlights every precious moment. Choose Long Play mode for stronger compression that allows twice as much video to be stored on your memory card. |
| Additional Features |
 | iSAPS |  |
| My Colours Add a personal touch to your image or movie with Canon’s My Colours. Choose from vivid blue for the sky, antique sepia for the portrait or classic black and white for the landscape. These creative options and many more – normally available only on a computer – can be applied directly from your camera, before or after the shot. |  |

Very small but great pictues!
I bought the Ixus 90 IS a month ago, having previously purchased an Ixus 75 for my wife. I was very impressed by her camera and wanted one which was equally 'portable'.
What do I think of it?
Pros -
Very portable - it easily slips into your pocket. This was my main reason for buying the camera. So often you want to take a picture of something, but forgot to bring the camera! This one is a bit like carrying a second mobile phone!
Excellent picture quality - I am very pleased with A4 sized enlargements from it.
Feels and looks good - a personal thing, but I like the shape and style, and it does feel well put together!
A really bright and clear 3 inch screen
Some good features that you might want to explore - beyond the standard excellent auto mode
Cons -
None really, if you just want a classy and very portable point and shoot which takes good pictures
Other advice -
The supplied memory card is far too small. Buy a much bigger card. I use a Sandisk Extreme III 2GB card
Buy a case for it - I bought a Lowepro Napoli 10. It is a tight fit, but is OK
A real Gem of a camera
Last year I bought a Canon ixus 70 for my wife.She has hardly used it as I fell in love with it and disbanded my Pentax Optio. As this was rather unfair on her,I decided I had better buy one for myself.The ixus 90IS fills the bill perfectly. It is beautifully made,has a nice substantial weight,and sports a beautiful three inch screen.Both still and movie results are great,battery life is excellent,and it even has a trimming tool so that you can crop in camera.I believe it is the first of the range to have this feature.If you don't mind the lack of aperture and shutter priority modes, which I don't think are really neessary on digital compacts,then I can thououghly recommend this camera.I added a Sandisk SHDC 4gb memory card and a Canon DCC Case - both bargains from Amazon. So, my wife now has her camera back, and I am a very happy man!
Wonderful
I bought this mainly for diving (along with the appropriate housing). I've only had it a few days and I haven't dived with it yet, but there are some magnificent features, and it knocks my old Fuji for six.
First, the LCD screen is 3 inches instead of 2.5. We mathematicians know that means that the area is nearly half again as big, and that makes a big difference at 15m. Second, it is one click to switch from movie mode to "underwater" still mode. The fuji required all sorts of scrolling and messing about.
Less specifically about diving, the direct printing is fantastic, as are the cropping features, the slightly gimmicky but very arty facility to shoot B&W except for one colour, the fact that you can trim videos in camera, and that the camera knows which way up you're holding it and reorients the pics accordingly, and it all adds up to a feature-packed camera that shoots high quality. I'm very glad I went for it.
My only quibble would be that the body design is boxy in the extreme, and you could certainly buy sexier looking cameras. But that's not really what you buy it for, is it?
