Upgrade from my S90 to the S120?

Re: Upgrade from my S90 to the S120?

I'm still using my S90, although my G15 has eaten into its usage more than I expected.  Partly because of the longer and faster lens; but also because I discovered it was quite pocketable.  It will actually fit easily in a shirt pocket, although at 12.6 oz. it's a bit heavy there.  Fits easily into a looser fitting trousers.  Tip: use the G15 with a wrist strap or a neck cord instead of the 2 point attached neck strap that is supplied with it.  The slimmer cords make the camera much more pocketable and convenient.

Based on posts here over the last month or so, if I were tempted to go to the G series, I'd go with the G15, not the newer G16.  Same size and all; but a different processor and sensor, and from the samples I've seen, the G15 is a bit sharper (and cheaper).

There have also been a large number of posts on the S90 and S95 Vs the newer S110 and S120.   Again, the S95 seems to be the winner there, and the S110 seems sharper than the S120 (same sensor and processor as the G16).
