Released in 2000 the Canon Z90W\u00a0(Autoboy\u00a0Epo) has a 28-90mm\u00a0f4.5-9.9 lens which is\u00a0 slow at the telephoto end but the quality of the optical system overall is quite good.\u00a0\u00a0Being from 2000 its just new enough to find\u00a0internet\u00a0reviews from the time the camera was\u00a0released. \u00a0The best part of this camera is the large mode dial on the back, with 7 different positions, the most interesting to me being ‘Personal’ which lets me configure the flash to be off at all times.\u00a0 This is done be selecting Personal on the dial and then pressing the mode button then using the zoom buttons to toggle\u00a0through the available flash\u00a0choices; Auto,Red eye,Flash on,Flash off,+1.5 exposure comp.,-1.5 exposure comp., and slow sync flash.<\/p>\n

Of the point and shoot film cameras with zoom lenses that go down to 28mm this is the best.\u00a0 Used at the 28mm wide end it compares well with fixed focal length film compacts.\n\t\t
