Where do you see a full Canon S90 review on imaging-resource????? As of now NONE exists on that site....
As for the Comparometer on IR....It has one MAJOR FAILING....
Every camera sample on the Comparometer is ONLY at the DEFAULT setting...and sophisticated p&s cameras like both the LX3 and the S90 have many parameter in camera adjustments that can make a major difference in OOC images....
Some manufacturers set the defaults on these sophisticated p&s cameras assuming PP will be done to the images...and so...as in many dslrs...unless you raise sharpness for example in camera OOC does not show the best each individual camera can do. Now each individual model may require different settings to get the best OOC ...and that is where the IR Comparamoter fails to be a good way to compare IQ between cameras.

I haven't seen anything that shows the S90 beating the LX3, in fact the only legitimate site(imaging-resource.com) to review them both, shows the LX3 beating the S90 handily. Nothing beats a superior lens!![]()
