The IXUS 90 IS is a very impressive compact camera with a stunning screen, lightning fast auto-focus and a reasonably full feature set. The build quality is also first rate, and exactly what I've come to expect from the Canon IXUS range, while the design is aesthetically and ergonomically pleasing. On the down side, the 35mm wide angle setting of the zoom is slightly disappointing, especially when you consider that IXUS 850 IS, launched back in 2006 came equipped with a 28 - 105mm zoom. Despite the IXUS 90 IS excelling in many areas, the high price point will place it out of the reach of many prospective buyers. And with the competition in the compact sector getting fiercer every day, there are plenty of alternatives for considerably less cash. That said, if you've got the money, and you can get on with the navigation wheel, then the IXUS 90 IS will make a great "carry everywhere" camera. Read full review
