S100 so close and yet so far>>

I think the S100 is so close and yet so far: As a owner of a S90 and a DSLT and including my wife's older Elph and a new Canon HD camcorder I got to say Canon is SLEEPY and behind the times.

The S100 isn't enough (for me) to upgrade from a S90 because it's got another WAY conservative Canon "refresh"...

After owning a Sony DLST and its killer functions such as sweep panorama, HDR w/o a tripod and fast shooting that came from the Sony PS lineup (all these features are now available from the Sony lineup--Nikon et al)... I got to wonder; what Canon is up to?

If the S100 made more effort, I would upgrade but come on, $400+ cameras that lack features that competitors have in their $150 cameras and their DLSR equivalents?

Canon is ;laying to so safe not to cannibalize while the likes of Sony and Samsung eating their lunch.

when the next shirt pocket rocket comes along like the S90 (ahead of the pack) my wallet is waiting.

That said if I didn't have an S90 I'd be tempted w/ the s100>

Later

Canon PowerShot S90
