I ordered a Canon S90 graded Excellent as a used camera. I have a Canon SL1 with several lenses, an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II with 3 lens. I am wondering if anyone has tips for me in beginning to use the Canon S90. Clearly it will be easily transportable, and I am impressed with the reviews. I just could not buy in my budget when they were brand new. Feel free to offer thoughts and/or special settings you like. Thank you.

I had an S90 and thought it was a good little camera.

I agree with GeraldW that it needs some kind of a grip installed to keep it from slipping out of your hands because it can be hard to hold on to.

To be honest, I thought it was one of the best small cameras available at the time and I'm sure you'll like it.

When you come right down to it I doubt there's a small sensor camera made today that's much better.

Thanks Sueanne, but to be honest about all I did was press the shutter button.  

I haven't owned a small sensor compact camera for quite awhile but back in the days when I did I truly used them as point & shoot cameras and hardly ever did anything other than let the camera make all the decisions.

When I was sitting in a dark theater watching a play or at any social function where I wanted to take pictures the last thing I wanted to do was mess with camera settings and Canon point & shoot cameras always did a good job for me.

Like a lot of people, I've always owned interchangeable lens cameras but, for me, they just aren't the best cameras for a lot of situations and when it comes to convenience it's hard to beat some of the small cameras Canon has made.
