Canon PowerShot S90 - replacement for Panasonic LX3?


Higher, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

The recent introduction of Canon PowerShot S90 is highly interesting. If the promised two-stop improvement in high-ISO behaviour is true, the camera will be the new low-light king with its 28-105 mm f/2.0 lens. And the camera is even smaller (and thus pocketable) than the LX3.

The most interesting thing about the 1/1.7" sensor is the decrease in megapixels (compared to Canon G10), to 10 megapixels. A very sensible decision from Canon.
