Satisfied Rating (6/10)
This cam takes amazing pics. I bought this camera to take with me to travel abroad. I ordered early enough so I could get and to make the trip. I took some great pictures of my dogs, the beach and some family photos and all that was beautiful! Given the trip I knew that Id better battery backup when I was taking pictures every day. Battery life is good, and I would probably be ok with only 1 battery on a daily basis. If your normal, everyday photos show they are happy with this camera. I have many digital cameras over the years and are experienced with them. Most people would be satisfied with this camera. The only reason I gave 3 of 5 is as follows. I went to a concert, and when dusk began to get the photos started a difficult time concentrating. When it was dark it was terrible. Even the lights of the stage, almost did not get pictures after the sunset. I thought that fashion ISCN iAuto and lighting or low lighting of the stage would not be a problem. I took some video and was immediately bothered by the inability to zoom while recording video was. Once I started recording I noticed that the battery was removed immediately. I was glad that my other Sony batteries brought with me. I have almost 5 minutes the video output of 3 batteries I had with me. disappointing. I will probably sell this camera and wait for a new series of Sony or try a different model. I love Sony and want to stick with them, and I have a sony camera with a large high zoom.

| Review by GCC (USA) 2010-07-27 Could not recommend this product enough. For the money spent and what the camera is(a compact, pocket camera), it is outstanding.

| Review by SanjeevP (MICHIGAN, USA) 2010-07-27 As of July 2010, Canon S90 and Canon SD4000 are two of the best pocketable point and shoot cameras. Tough choice. Having used both, here is my take on these two excellent cameras: ADVANTAGES OF S90 Over SD4000 1. Better picture quality. 2. Lots of manual controls. | ||

| Review by Laura (ATLANTA, GA USA) 2010-07-28 I had the previous version, the Canon Powershot G9, and LOVED IT. It finally stopped working so I immediately ordered the most updated version, the G11. This camera was HORRIBLE. The color is completely washed out in every picture I took on my recent trip to Alaska, and is a huge disappointment. ... Read more reviews | ||

So far, this seems to be a pretty good camera and many of the features I was alr... Read more reviews | ||
