Will the S90 charge over USB?
Hi guys!
I just bought an S90 today - it's my first "serious" camera, and I'm anxious to dive in head-first. I bought it today (and paid retail - sigh) since my wife and I are embarking on a ~1000 mile road-trip tomorrow.
One question that a few minutes on Google couldn't answer: Will the S90 charge it's internal battery via USB from my MacBook Pro, or do I need to bring the AC charger with us?
Thanks in advance,
Huxley

Hey RNELL and welcome to gdgt! I have a PROMASTER SDHC card in my S90 gdgt.com/promaster/high-speed-professional/secure-... , but that's mostly because that was the best card they had available at the camera store I happened to go to during a somewhat recent trip. IMHO I think memory cards are largely a commodity, so when I usually buy mem cards online I just get whatever is a decent price from a brand I'm familiar with and trust.
I like the SanDisks as well. I forgot to mention to be sure you get a fast card, especially if you're going to be shooting RAW +JPG format. I'm using a class 6 card which seems to do well, but the card I had before that wasn't as fast and there was considerable lag time in between shots.
I use the Sandisk Extreme III SDHC's.
Because it's not just Extreme. It's not even Extreme II. It's Extreme III. And I'm all about many times Extreme.

I use the 8gb Eye-Fi Pro x2
Mostly because my shooting style with this camera is very casual,and I dont want to have to keep plugging in card readers, and taking the card out of the camera to offload 1-2 photos. If i'm going to be doing allot of shooting I use the 40D or the 5D.
