I too had an S90 5-6 years ago, and bought for the same reason you bought yours. (though I paid hundreds more...)

It was so good that I only used my SLR a couple times in the time that I owned the S90. It was so good, in such a small package... If we're honest with ourselves, 95% of the time, the images look the same, compared to the SLR, after they're shrunk to fit the computer screen. It's only when we really zoom in for detail or for lack of telephoto that we can tell the difference.

After "upgrading" to an Olympus XZ-1 and Pentax MX-1, I still missed the little S90, and replaced it just yesterday with its spiritual successor the Canon G9X. All is right in my stable, now that I have a proper pocket camera again.

You'd be surprised at the current state of cellphone cameras.
