Released in 2009, the Canon PowerShot S90 is one of Canon's most sought-after compact digital cameras. Featuring a large 10 megapixel 1/1.7" CCD sensor, fast f/2.0 lens, RAW image capture, optical image stabilization, and full manual controls, the S90 has developed a cult following among photographers, collectors, and digicam enthusiasts.
This camera powers on, extends and retracts the lens properly, captures photos, saves images, reads SD cards, and successfully imports images to a computer. During testing we confirmed image capture and file transfer functionality.
The rear LCD screen is non-functional. Because of the failed LCD, camera settings and image playback cannot be viewed directly on the camera. The camera can still be used for image capture, tethered shooting, repair, parts harvesting, or experimentation by users comfortable working around its limitations.
Flash functionality could not be confirmed during testing.

Keeping Cameras Alive
The Canon PowerShot S90 has become one of the most desirable compact CCD cameras of the late 2000s thanks to its large 1/1.7" sensor, RAW shooting capability, fast f/2.0 lens, manual controls, and pocketable size. Demand for the S90 has grown significantly in recent years, with fully functional examples often selling in the $300-$400 range and even parts-only or non-working examples commonly selling around $150 due to demand for replacement parts and repair projects.
This camera falls somewhere in between. While the rear LCD screen is non-functional and flash operation could not be confirmed, we verified that the camera powers on, captures photos, saves images, reads SD cards, and successfully imports images to a computer. The sensor, lens, and core image-making functions remain operational. We have priced it at $100, substantially below both typical working examples and many parts-only examples, in recognition of its condition and limitations.
At CobbleStore, we do our best to keep cameras out of the landfill whenever possible. Rather than immediately parting this one out, we'd like to give it a chance at a second life. Whether you're looking for a repair project, parts donor, tethered shooting setup, or a unique camera to experiment with, we hope you'll help keep this PowerShot S90 shooting for years to come.
