Canon PowerShot Pro90 IS

 

For the last several years, the specs on high-end "prosumer" digital cameras were usually the same. Take the highest Megapixel CCD out there (1.3, 2.1, then 3.3 Mpixel), add a 3X optical zoom lens, and toss it in a familiar body. Lately, though, things...

Nice 10X zoom with optical image stabilization ; Useful swiveling LCD ; Full manual controls, and plenty of presets if you don't wish to use them ; Fast processing speeds ; Excellent playback mode ; Supports IBM Microdrive

Chromatic aberrations can be a problem ; Quirky zoom controls ; Zoom not functional in movie mode ; Expensive at $1400

The Canon PowerShot Pro90 IS is the latest in a string of higher-end, "big zoom" cameras. It's got an excellent feature set, good photo quality, a neat swiveling LCD, and fast processing speeds. There are a few annoying design quirks, and chromatic...

PowerShot Pro90 IS

 

The big lens is the key feature of this new PowerShot. It's the equivalent of 37-370mm on a 35mm camera, and has a healthy f/2.8-3.5 maximum aperture (though the minimum f/8 is disappointing). The power-zoom control - a little slow to respond - is a...
