Beautiful!here is one with 400ISO:
The m4/3 is a lot bigger than the S90 and also twice the cost. I couldn't afford a m4/3 but I did look briefly at the GF1 in the store. It was nice but I couldn't see it being twice the camera of either the G11 or S90. The m4/3 is deep into dSLR territory money-wise and therefore if I had the cash, the dSLR route is the way I'd go, eg; Pentax K-x body with a Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.I downloaded a bunch of RAW files from a review of the S90 and in anything but ideal conditions the shadows turned into blotchy messes just like most small sensor cameras. They had a plasticky feel as well, common to this type of camera. They're getting better, but not up to the level of m4/3 yet.
Probably the same with G11 then. I'll take a closer look when I get mine in a week.I downloaded a bunch of RAW files from a review of the S90 and in anything but ideal conditions the shadows turned into blotchy messes just like most small sensor cameras.

Yep I skipped the G10 after selling my G9, didn't make sense with so many little pixels. G11 seems better at ISO 400. Should be very similar to S90 - same sensor, same processing, different lens and body.Lars, I owned the G10 for exactly 30 minutes! I took a few shots, processed the raw files, saw the godawful mess at ISO 400 and higher and packed it up to return to Amazon. I hope the G11 is better.
Depending on how you intend on showing your photos even 1600 ISO on the G11 yields good results. Even some 3200 shots I've taken are, all things considered, impressive. I have a few shots on my site if you are interested in looking.Yep I skipped the G10 after selling my G9, didn't make sense with so many little pixels. G11 seems better at ISO 400.

Well, yes and no. As you have to hold this camera at arms length, I don't find a grip useful, as I tend to hold it in a quite different fashion from a camera with a viewfinder, where a grip no doubt would be welcome. Besides, a grip would add weight and bulk and the very compactness of the S-90 is one of its most compelling features. A rather subjective matter of course, so YMMV.I got a chance to play with an S90 at the store yesterday. Nice little thing but it really needs an aftermarket grip. It's a little surprising that Canon prioritized form over function in that aspect, as the S90 clearly is a photographer's camera.
Obviously, since there are aftermarket grips and people buy them.Well, yes and no.
