Thank you Lars!
Not sure how to do that, must look into it. ( I use Firefox and get them lined up vertically).

Arne, lovely as always.
On the matter of the grip: it makes no difference to the ergonomic of actually taking an image, but all the rest of the time (walking, holding, putting in and taking out of a pocket, etc.) makes an incalculable difference. And the grip I recommended is CNC-machined from a block of solid aluminium, and weights practically nothing (it's only a few millimetres thick). hth, kl

Hmm OK we'll have to write that off as an IE8 quirk then.

Thanks Kit. Re the grip: it would be interesting to see what it looks like, could you please post a snap (or a link)?

Yes, I know the aesthetics of a camera body don't impact IQ much 
)), but I feel the little grip is one of the loveliest bits of design I have seen in a while. cheers, kl

S90: a great little compact with good image quality
I am a Nikon DSLR guy using Leica and Zeiss ZF lenses for optimal image quality, but I did not hesitate to get a Canon S90 to benefit of the best quality available in a small pocket shirt compact priced below $1000 (I exclude automatically the Leica X1 due to its outragious price point even if qualitywise it is one notch higher).
The S90 over exposes by2/3 EV during the day and exposes perfectly at night. Using the exposure compensation rear wheel is easy and fixes the issue.
Minor minuses are: exposure compensation wheel can be accidentally turned too easily. The lens is soft at f/2.0 in the corners.
