"The Canon PowerShot Pro90 IS is the latest in a string of higher-end, 'big zoom' cameras. It's got an excellent feature set, good photo quality, a neat swiveling LCD, and fast processing speeds. There are a few annoying design quirks, and chromatic aberration can be a problem. The closest competitor is the Olympus C-2100 Ultra Zoom. While the Pro90 is higher resolution than the Ultra Zoom (2.6 vs. 2.1 Mpixel), it costs $300 more, and doesn't add a whole lot more in the features department (aside from movie mode and the swiveling LCD). I'd compare these two closely before you make any decisions."
