Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S90 First Impressions Review

Picture Quality / Size Options
With 4.1 megapixels of resolution, the S90 provides five image size options in both 4:3 and 3:2 aspect ratios to select from. The following options are available for still images in Fine or Standard compression modes: 2304 x 1728, 2304 x 1536, 2048 x 1536, 1280 x 960, and 640 x 480. The 3:2 ratio is a nice option to have so that 4 x 6 inch prints are framed correctly. The other settings provide users with a wide range of sizes for printing and emailing.

Picture Effects Mode
One of the Cyber-shot S90’s more advantageous elements is the ability to tweak prerecorded images in playback mode. Users can adjust color, saturation, and hue of captured images within the main menu following image capture. Once the photograph is recorded, users can also change the toning to Black & White or Sepia. These digital overlays or alteration options provide users with a (rudimentary) internal editing program of sorts without the need for external software.
