i am in love with the elegant design of the camera. the technical data is superb.i hope and wish to own this camera for business purpose.

The Canon Pro 90IS Digicam has basically been everything I wanted in a "Super Zoom" all-in-one SLR style camera. The Image Stabilized 10X Optical Zoom is great and has given me opportunistic shots that I would have missed either due to the need for a tripod mounted shot with my A40 or acceptance of a blurred image! Focusing problems, slow lag times and short battery life have been a few problems I'm learning to overcome. Even though it was discontinued, I still made the purchase for the overall features and have obtained some great pictures. Although most of my picture portfolio (torretab) was taken with the Canon A40, my Pro90 gallery can also be seen at Webshots.

I am disappointed that Canon seems to have chosen to not to upgrade this camera. As a new user of the Pro90 and relatively newcomer to digital photography, I need to experiment and find solutions to the quirks of the Pro90. Thanks to all who have posted comments here. Your successes (& failures) help a great many of us!

I recently recieved this camera and i love it! I prevouisly owned an Olympus D-360L, which was a great first camera. This camera is an amazing upgrade. The only negative, that i have encountered, and it is not a big one, is slow start up time from when you first turn on the camera to when it acutally starts working. The zoom is great, the features are easy to use and the battery is long lasting. The dials that control the camera make it much easier to change between features then on cameras with complicated menus. I purchased a 64 mb. card, which also increases this cameras versitility. I love this camera, and it takes great pictures. I also use it wiht a P-400 printer, and the prints look great.

This is my first digital camera which I purchased about 6 months ago. I love it. I have ot yet played around too much with the manual modes but I love many things abut this camera: It is aesthetically cool looking. It is very comfortable to grip with one hand. It has aLONG battery life, using a battery used on camcorders; I've never had a problem with low battery. The pictures are GREAT. Don't let the 2.6 megapixels turn you off; this camera has a great lense; very solid. The 10X zoom is incredible. All in all, a great product.

i've had the pro90 for about six months.

the goods:

* battery life: i have 3 bp511s and am not worried about running out of battery power. these last me for more than a FULL day of shooting. (get a battery charger. in camera charging makes it impossible to charge while shooting).
* zoom: 10x - this has been sufficient. i'd only need more if i were a spy, or stuck in bleachers far away from the action.
* i love the full swivel of the LCD. the digital viewfinder is also very cute (let's you see the picture for a couple seconds) after it's taken without having to turn on the LCD.

the bads:

* autofocus is challenging and manual foc is hardly exact.
* slow fps. slow slow slow. i don't even use the multiple
shot mode, even when i'm taking action. i just try to
time things.
* higher ISOs are, of course, grainy.
* this is picky, but i'd like more control when in black and white mode.

the best thing about this camera:

it makes me want to buy a new, professional grade camera.
