The Sony CyberShot  DSC - S90 compact camera is designed for the consumer who is looking for a long battery life, speed and good picture quality. The Caner features a Carl Zeiss 3X optical zoom,  and provides 32 mb of internal memory and a memory stick slot for extra storage capacity.

The CyberShot DSC-S90 is part of the Stamina series by Sony. These cameras are designed for extra long battery life, while using ordinary AA batteries. The use of disposable batteries is always high on my list, as it keeps the photographer from having to recharge batteries at the end of  the night. Steves Digicams says that “The S90 lets you take approximately 150 shots while using two “AA” type batteries and around 590 shots while using a NIMH rechargeable battery.” Bravo! 

One of the great features of this camera is that it offers burst mode, so the photographer can take 4 shots at the full 4 megapixel resolution at a rate of .7frames/sec. This feature of the S90 is not typical in a compact camera.

The DSC-S90 starts in the mid 200 dollar range, a good not great price for a camera such as this. The draw back to the camera is that it is a Sony, so you are stuck with the proprietarty and more expensive memory stick memory.
