I am currently toying with the idea of purchasing the S90 and I was wondering what your thoughts are on the build quality of the S90 are having owned it for a time now. The top and bottom panels appear to be plastic, how are they and the camera overall holding up to regular usage? Regards, Matt, Helsinki. Hi,

The wide aperture works towards your advantage but I wouldn't recommend it for sports or nature photography. For situations where you are shooting action, especially far away from you, you need to invest in a good DSLR which has a high frame rate, and a good telephoto lens with a wide aperture (f2.8 is usually the best at 200-300mm but very expensive).

I don't think it has a burst mode right? Nice review by the way. Thanks, HT. Hi,

Thus if you are looking for more info on the S90 or my pictures I can totally help you out. In terms of comparing cameras I recommend checking out the following sites to get all the details of the other camera’s you are considering. http://www.kenrockwell.com/ http://www.cameralabs.com/ http://www.dpreview.com/ One quick thing I can say is that the SX 210 has a smaller aperture at max than the S90. The S90 has a f2.0 aperture at it's widest, the SX 210 has only a f3.1. If you don't know what that means I recommend doing some research on the sites I mentioned above. In a nutshell the S90 is much better for low-light photography and that's pretty important to me. First, thanks for the comments and taking the time to post them on my site…

I haven't been giving my D90 enough love, might be a good way for me to get reacquainted with it... There are plenty of review sites out there that will tell you all you need to know about the D90. In short it's a great camera and if you are interested in buying one then go for it. Honestly I can't give a full review of the D5000 but in my experience, if you really are committed to learning photography you might as well go for the D90 and learn to use all of its features. Personally I started off with a D40 and I always knew I would be upgrading, it was a great camera but I probably could have saved some cash by just buying what I wanted to begin with.
