With a focus on performance, Sony's Stamina series of Cyber-shot digital cameras set a new standard for speed, battery life and picture quality in compact cameras.

The DSC-S90 easy-to-use, four-megapixel camera is packed with features like Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry for better battery efficiency, more responsiveness and high quality movie taking. The Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens on the models complements their high resolution for great picture clarity, while 32 MB of internal memory and a Memory Stick media slot provide plenty of storage capacity. The new models in the S-series let you take approximately 110 shots while using two "AA" type batteries and around 550 shots while using a NIMH rechargeable battery.

So that pictures are captured in-focus with the proper lighting and exposure, the new cameras offer a smart auto-focusing and exposure system - meaning that even if the subject is off-center and in a difficult lighting situation, the cameras can automatically make the necessary adjustments. The DSC-S90 includes a 3X optical zoom and 2X digital zoom for better looking, properly framed pictures. Additionally, various preset scene modes are available for quickly selecting the best setting for the shooting conditions. Incorporating all the smart features of the DSC-S40 camera, the DSC-S90 model steps up with an elegant new design, larger LCDs, manual exposure control and the added utility of Cyber-shot Station compatibility. This model also offers the option to add tele- or wide- conversion lenses for greater magnification or a wider field of view.

    Very good camera with lots of features

    By teddiebuddah  Oct 18, 2005 | 11 out of 12 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 review helpful

    Pros: Easy to use, large LCD, lots of manual features, value.

    Cons: Complicated menu, bundled software, flash.

    As an entry-level point-and-shoot, the S90 functions very well in full auto. The AF functions superbly under all lighting conditions - though in very low light, it's a bit slow. Picture quality is quite good and colors are fairly accurate. Sony... has given this camera a lot of manual adjustments as well - some of which are rare in this segment including: white balance, burst, color and contrast settings. Even better, all these adjustments are available in movie mode. While all these manual adjustments are very useful, getting through the menu requires a lot of button-pushing. Another negative... the flash is a bit much and tends to wash everything out. All-in-all, the S90 is a very good value... an excellent point-and-shoot with a lot of unique features. Read more Less

    great deal on sony camera!

    By speedmom  Jan 22, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 review helpful

    Pros: ease of use

    Cons: size, weight

    I got a great deal on this camera as Circuit city was selling the last ones they had in stock. The camera was easy to use, easy delete for unwanted pictures, easy review of previous shot. Comes with a rechargeable battery that lasts a long time befor...e needing recharging. I bought my daughter an offbrand camera at Christmas and returned it the next day. I found this one by recommendation of the college age "camera geek" sales clerks at Circuit City and have been very pleased with the quality and the value of the purchase. I wish I could buy one for myself! Read more Less

    Sony - DSC-S90 review

    No doubt Sony thinks that a £155 camera is positively cheap, and the DSC-S90 feels as though the company has specified a relatively basic camera which it has then built to a high quality. There's nothing cheap and nasty about this camera but it's slightly limited by its 4-megapixel rating and 3x optical zoom, and as is so often the case with Sony, you get better value for money from its more expensive products.
