Our verdict
There are not too many reasons to upgrade from a PowerShot S90 to the PowerShot S95, as many of the differences are refinements rather than outright changes.
However, intuitive manual controls using the improved lens control ring in the later model will satisfy serious users and, in its own right, the S95 is a great performer.
There are few cameras that slip comfortably into pocket that will produce better images than this one.
