In a conceptual continuation of the PowerShot S80 released in October 2005, the S90 combines high performance and multi-functionality in a compact body. Like the PowerShot G11, the S90 realizes crisp, clear photos with the Dual Anti-Noise System, and also features a wide-angle 28 mm* f/2.0 large-aperture 3.8x optical zoom lens and 3.0-inch Clear Live LCD II monitor in addition to a variety of manual shooting features. A control ring located on the lens barrel can be rotated to quickly adjust a variety of settings, including ISO speed, aperture, and white balance.
