Another new dpreview review

Those guys seem to be busy with reviews these days! They’ve just posted their (again long-awaited) 20-page review of Canon’s LX3 competitor, the PowerShot S90.

The Canon PowerShot S90, just as the Panasonic Lumix LX3, features a fast f/2.0 (initial) lens with a 28-105mm zoom range (as opposed to the LX3’s 24-60mm), a 10 MP ‘high-sensitivity’ sensor and several features that are meant to appeal to enthusiasts.

The guys at dpreview seem to have liked it quite much – they even awarded it with the ‘dpreview.com Silver Award’ – whatever that is.
Personally, I’d prefer the LX3, since it has – imo – slightly better high-ISO performance, its lens goes wider and it looks nicer.

If you want to find out how the LX3 and the S90 compare to each other as well as to Canons flagship compact, the G11, and Ricoh’s new GXR/S10, then read their review here.
