The Canon A85′s CMOS sensor decided to give me on me after seeing all those ugly shots I’ve taken in the past. Traded it in for a Canon PowerShot S90 through the Canon Privilege Purchase Program.

The PowerShot S90 that cost me S$595 with 8GB SD card & pouch

So why did I choose the PowerShot S90?

• It’s small and lightweight
• Outstanding image quality when compared to other compact cameras
• Better low light performance than other compacts
• Good JPEG quality with option for RAW image
• Fast F/2 lens
• Manual controls for aperture, shutter speed, flash exposure

Some not so cool stuffs

• Lacks HD movie mode
• Control dial is too loose which may cause you to adjust the exposure value unknowingly
