The S90 was released 15 months after the S630 making them a generation away from one another. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the S90 scores versus the S630 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot S90 & Nikon Coolpix S630. The complete galleries are available at Canon S90 Gallery & Nikon S630 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to travel with your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and size.

Quite often, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The picture below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S90 and S630.

To sum up, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S90 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon S630 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The younger S90 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
