One other point of comparison

I took the S90 with me as my only camera on a trip to Europe one time. After having taken the SD600 Elph the previous year, and finding the tripod was an absolute requirement, (so I could shoot at ISO 80 and have not much noise), I did the same with the S90, and the images were SLR caliber.

Now, with the G9X, I feel like I don't even need the tripod, as it has the much larger sensor and optical image stabilization. I just brace myself the best I can, and it just DELIVERS.

Here are a couple low light indoor shots with my G9X. The venue was Rainforest Cafe; I think those are all over the US, right? Look at the shutter speeds. They were all hand-held, but braced against tables, columns, etc. The OIS really works well.

forgot to give this one a bit of - exposure compensation...

Here are a couple outdoor shots, run through a film simulating preset in DxO FilmPack, which "ate" the EXIF data:

It's an awesome little camera. Just take care not to drop it. It is quite easy to drop when you don't use the wrist strap.
