Conclusion:

1. Both cameras are the high end digital cameras where canon Powershot S90
   is almost $50 expensive than the Nikon Coolpix P90.

2. With 2.1 more megapixels and optical zoom of 24x make this camera just
   awesome. you can take picture of moon with this 24x closely. Canon is just
   offering 3.8x optical zoom that might not be enough for many people because
   you will not always want to shoot portraits. you would love to take nature
   shots where you certainly needs a better zoom.
3. Canon Powershot S90 has a
   better sensor size thus will poses better image quality but on the other
   hand the pixel density is less so the result quality should not be much
   different. There is not much difference in the F-stops as well.
4. Nikon
   clearly lacks here due to its size and weight. the size and weight are due
   to the optical zoom they are offering with this camera, the more the lens
   zoom is the bigger lens it will carry so the reason is good but its not
   always easy to carry a almost 1 lb camera in your hand, this problem can be
   resolved if you carry this camera with a strap on your neck or carry a bag
   with your camera.
