The S90 was introduced 3 years earlier than the Fujifilm T500 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a simple overview of how the S90 matches up vs the Fujifilm T500 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot S90 and Fujifilm FinePix T500. The whole galleries are provided at Canon S90 Gallery and Fujifilm T500 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera, you will have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Quite often, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The photograph below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S90 and Fujifilm T500.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S90 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Fujifilm T500 will give extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
