  • Sturdy but stylish retro looks; huge, 76mm (3-inch) screen
  • Light on features; scroll wheel needs some work
  • Its hard to resist an IXUS, even if they do demand a premium for styling rather than features. When a camera looks and feels as good as the retro-angled Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS, with its huge screen and quirky controls, well overlook the lack of fe...

  • Solid build, large 3-inch screen, 10 megapixels, image stabilising
  • Only a 32MB SD card in the box, nothing ground breaking
  • The IXUS 90 is Canon doing what they do best, just dont expect any fanfare

  • Stylish retro design; optical image stabilizer; fast auto focus
  • Scroll wheel not intuitive; high noise level above ISO 800
  • Despite a paucity of features, the IXUS 90 feels substantial, thanks to its sturdy build, quirky controls, large screen and respectable picture quality.

  • Stabilisation optique, Capteur généreux
  • Pas dinnovation notable, Pas de grandangle, Prix un peu élevé
  • La gamme des compacts bijoux de Canon se renouvelle timidement avec les IXUS 85 IS et 90 IS. Des appareils très proches sur le plan technique : le 85 est doté dun écran moins grand (6,35 au lieu de 7,62 cm), possède un viseur optique (dont le 90 est d...
