4 The Canon PowerShot S90 is a high-end point & shoot camera that takes great photos and provides great manual controls for serious shooters. The video it captures is not particularly impressive, though.
The Fuji D200EXR uses some fancy new technology to try and improve performance, but we didn't see a huge performance boost from this. The Fuji did score higher than the S90 in some areas, though; both resolution and color were slightly better. But Fuji's claim of superior low light performance was not borne out; we found that the S90 produced images were lower levels of noise without the fancy sensor features of the Fuji.
The Canon S90 was also the easier camera to use, with the front control ring making it easier to control features such as the zoom and ISO level. On the Fuji, these features have to be accessed through the on-screen menu.
