Canon PowerShot S90

Hi,

I am planning to buy the S90. But i am not sure whether it is worth it.

It also doesnt have the HD Video Recording option.

My main requirement is "Photo quality".

Please suggest me on this.

Canon S90

HD video has nothing to do with Quality, it is just a larger image.
Normal video is 640 x 480
Most digital camera HD video is 1280 x 720

The 1280 x 720 looks better when played on a HD television.
You will also notice that a 640 x 480 image will look almost as good if you use a Blu-Ray DVD player or one of the new DVD players that has "up sampling". It just won't be wide screen.

The S90 produces quality images and has the advantage of working better in low light than most small digital cameras.
