Background and Identification

A silver point-and shoot-camera manufactured in 2005 created by Sony. The back of the camera has a 2.5” LCD monitor, button control pad, and dial surrounding the shutter release button on the top of the device. Adjacent to the dial on top of the camera on the left, is the power button and a silver aesthetic line containing more camera specifics, and going down the entire left side of the camera. The front of the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 is mostly dominated by the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens below the flash.  Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 hasn't had any major recalls and when it was released, and had nothing but positive reviews from critics.
