Canon PowerShot S90
The immediate thing I wanted to test in the Canon PowerShot S90 is picture distinction and noise at highest ISO settings. Many photog new comers and professionals know that minimal light performance was the # 1 feature impacting cameras and lens price. This is the top reasoning an f/2.8 zoom lens costs 3-5 x as much as an f/3.5-5.6 zoom. The S90 succeeds beautifully in this regard. RAW pictures from the S90 set at ISO 800 are evenly balanced to or better than RAW photos in the G10 set at ISO400. Both luminance and chrominance noise are less from the Canon PowerShot S90 images. That explains a 1 stop enrichment, which was exactly what I was hoping for. My product comparisons are made with all noise reduction removed in camera and in the DPP software. I experimented on all other ISOs and found the Canon PowerShot S90 to be higher quality at every ISO setting over 100 and the two cameras demonstrated evenly balanced IQ at the base ISOs of eighty and 100.
