Is Canon dropping the Sd 990 high end compact line, since they did not announce a direct replacement. they usually release that line along with the G series. But nothing this time. Might they release it later on this year..?
 
I'm also a bit dissapointed that none of the new models had the 1/1.7″ sensor. What happend to the “large-sensor” series of Ixus models?

Earlier cameras and release dates of these models:
IXUS 750 / SD550 (Aug 2005)
IXUS 900 Ti / SD900 (Sep 2006)
IXUS 960 IS / SD950 IS (Aug 2007)
IXUS 980 IS / SD990 IS (Sep 2008)
Sep 2009 ????

I will not believe that a sensor that is what. 30%?, 50%?, smaller will be as good in producing a quality picture.

Yes, I know all about the magic of improved programming and improved sensors. I just don't believe that that magic occurs within a couple of years. Compared to an S400, I'll swallow the magic. Compared to a late model SD990 IS, I'm not that credulous.

I think you missed my point... It's not SMALLER... Its bigger!
 
I know it's not the same thing ... I was hoping for a 990 replacement ... but I would say that the S90 is what they've decided to do instead. For now, at least.
