        Competitor classes

        compared toCompact competitors

        Generally, some of the advantages of the Canon 90 IS compared to other compact competitors include: it is slightly smaller (super compact (92×57×21 mm) vs compact (99×59×27 mm)), has better image stabilization (lens vs none), has a much longer battery life (330 shots vs 200 shots) and is thinner (0.8" vs 1.1").

        However, on average it has a much narrower wide angle lens (35 mm vs 28 mm), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (1,600 ISO vs 12,800 ISO), doesn't have a touch screen, has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS) and is older (march 2008 vs february 2012).
