We like:
Super-slim design and excellent finish; good high-ISO performance; interesting 'auto shutter' mode
We don't like:
Poor zoom range and quality; 'dynamic photo' mode is fun but tricky to use; low-resolution continuous shutter shots
Also known as:
Casio Exilim Card EX-S12
CNET UK judgement:
Technology and photography can go together, but you need to know which it is you're paying for.

You can have plenty of fun with this camera, but you could get the same picture quality for half the price

Ticks numerous boxes, but it's not especially cheap and not particularly exciting

The S90 is the enthusiast's dream, offering compactness, great image quality and superb controls

Very expensive, but, as soon as you pick it up, you know this camera is special
