S100 - significant improvement over S90/95

These are my first impressions for what it´s worth:

The new lens/new sensor combo is clearly providing better image quality. The improvement is visible even at low ISO, although more significant at ISO 400. My findings are based entirely on raw captures developed in Lr 3.6. I´ve shot a few frames with both the S100 and the S95 for comparison at ISO values 80 and 400.

Due to the low speed at the long end of the lens, being able to get proper quality at ISO 400 is quite important and the S100 delivers a much welcomed improvement over the S95. On the negative side I have a feeling that the IS is less efficient in the S100.
