Reviews on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 4.1 Megapixel Compact Camera
Takes great pictures! Lots of features to expolore!
Strengths: Takes great pictures and movies; easy to see display; easy basic controls; comes with AA rechargables but uses alkaline AAs as well; lots of extras to take you farther than a basic camera.
Weakness: May not be as much zoom as you want; lithium batteries not recommended; red eye reduction setting under a menu instead of on flash mode button
This is my first digital camera. Once I determined that 4MP was going to be enough resolution for my needs (4x6 prints, occasional enlargements), that narrowed the field. Then I searched the reviews for a couple basic comments: "takes good pictures" and "easy to use". This camera fits both, and has a wonderfully large display. Some of the reviews suggest to save some $ and get some battery life...
Sony Cybershot DSC-S90 a Great Camera
Strengths: 2.5 inch LCD screen, both manual and automatic settings, size, ease of use, many features, long battery life, great price
Weakness: Enclosed battery charger takes six hours to charge two AA rechargable batteries. Would need to buy a faster charger if camera is used a lot at one time or have extra batteries on hand
After researching several Sony Cybershot digital cameras, I decided on the S-90 because it had the most features of the ones I looked at and the price was great at $199 plus a $40 rebate from Sony. It also has 4.1 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom, which is more than adequate for up to 8 by 10 enlargements. I've used the still shots and the movie mode, with a 256 mb memory stick pro. The camera...
DSC-S90 Camera
Strengths: Great quality pictures, Carl Zeiss lens, great zoom distance.
Weakness: Seems a bit bulky but the 2.5" lcd screen makes me forget all about it.
Great camera. I previously own the DSC-V1 5.0mp digital camera. This camera is just as good. It's smaller and the lcd screen is huge. Now I don't have to squint and see if the picture looks nice or not. I was in the market for a smaller camera and I finally found it. I looked at some Canon digital cameras too but there were too many bad reviews about their lcd screen flaws. So I decided to go...
Super Cybershot
Strengths: Good image quality, Carl Zeiss lens
Weakness: None
I bought this camera one month ago, and I took it with me on a trip abroad. It is a perfect camera, size, quality etc. And on rechargeable batteries, I was able to take more than 500 pictures and short movies, while using the playback all the time. This comes out big, given that with my previous camera, a Minolta Dimage S-414, the batteries would die on me after 30-40 shots.
A nice entry level camera
Strengths: Vivid color, large LCD, use only two AA battery and easy-to-use control
Weakness: Not as slim as Canon SD400 series. Memory stick is more expensive than SD or CF cards
I was considering to buy a compact camera and after comparing this with Canon SD400, I choose it for the following reason: (1) A bigger 2.5 inches LCD, better than SD400's 2 inches. (2) Use AA batteries means you will less worry about getting caught in the middle of shotting. (3) Very nice body design (4) Control buttons are easy to access Bottom line: this camera may not be small enough to fit...
Great camera for price paid
Strengths: Large LCD screen, Easy to use
Weakness: Not slim
I am very pleased with this camera. It takes pictures quickly and the quality is great. The 2.5 LCD screen makes such a great difference. It may not be as slim, but then again, it's harder to lose! I had an Nikon prior to this and it was great but it had a smaller screen and it took a few seconds to actually take the picture after you pressed the button. Great buy...I highly recommend!
decent camera for decent price
Strengths: great shutter speed flash recharges quicker than previous model large lcd includes, rechargable batteries with charger
Weakness: plastic feeling lcd is blurry with certain angles of light hitting on it memory stick, which is slightly more costly than sd and compact flash
I paid 201 not including the 40 rebate, 15 gc. I previously owned the sony dsc p-72. I did not like it much but b/c of the price of this camera and the great reviews, i bought this camera. This camera is significantly smaller than the P-72, much larger screen(2.5"), shutter response time is quicker, flash recharges quicker. But like the P-72 this camera has the plastic feel, the lcd screen is...
Pretty camera, Great Picture!!
Strengths: It is really cute, as well as many manual functions. The picture is very bright. Easy to use.
Weakness: the digital zoom is not large enought
The DSC-S90 is an easy-to-use, four-megapixel camera that's packed with features like Sony's Real Imaging Processor™ circuitry for better battery efficiency, more responsiveness and high quality movie taking. The 2.5" color LCD Monitor makes framing shots and reviewing pictures easy. Easy shooting with fully Automatic, Program AE and 7 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting...
Great features - poor pictures
Strengths: - Video limited only by memory size - Carl Zeiss lens - In-camera photo editing
Weakness: Red-eye (even with the red-eye feature just about everyone had red eyes) - Picture quality (the skin tones just don't look right and many of the picutres look washed out)
FEATURES: This is basiclaly what Sony is all about. this camera is full of features. It's has manual settings inside. The flash is bright, and ups the photo quality a lot. The video mode is a nice feature, and works well too.

TopDCRP Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90
Overall the DSC-S90 gets my recommendation -- it's an impressive camera for the money. If you want to save $50 and don't mind a smaller LCD, the DSC-S60 is basically the same camera, except that it gets even better battery life.
TopSony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 First Impressions Review
Sony announced the Cyber-shot DSC-S90 as part of the new Stamina series at the Photo Marketing Association Trade Show in February. With 4.1 megapixels, the compact digital camera can shoot about 580 shots on its AA batteries before needing a recharge. The S90 can last longer with its 1/2.7-inch Super HAD CCD and updated Real Imaging Processor. The S90 is the flagship model of the new line, which...
TopSony Cyber-shot DSC-S90
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 is an easy-to-use but very capable offering from Sony, the first of the new S-series that we've looked at. It offers a 4.1-megapixel CCD, 32 megabytes of internal memory, and a nice range of exposure options. The Sony S90 provides more manual exposure control than most compact entry-level models permit, yet is easy to use in full-auto mode, and its seven preprogrammed...

Excellent features for price.
Strengths: Large LCD. Ships with AA rechargeables + charger. TV quality video. Superior battery life. Extremely fast. Pretty good manual mode. Easy mode dial + separate delete button. Good internal memory.
Weakness: A bit too big for pants or shirt pocket. Heavy with batteries. Video is either nice q and big, or crappy q and small. Uses expensive Memory Sticks. Worthless software.
Overall, this camera is an excellent value, although somewhat large. The pics are above average and are sure to be more than good enough for photographers in this price range. The video is top notch, although it eats up memory. The only alternative is to use the tiny video that's meant for email purposes. I'd like to see a 320*240 mode. Battery life is simply fantastic, esp with NiMH...
