Re: S80 vs S90..?

I just bought a used S80 a week ago for $30 shipped. Large improvement over the S50 I have been using. Just wondering how much IQ improvement there is with the S90 (besides the f2 sensor).

I had both. The S80 had no IS of course. But it's jpegs and colors are SOOO good. Better than S90, MUCH better. At least in good light.

In suboptimal light the S90 is better with better noise performance, but I never got used to  the colors/jpegs.

My advice: use the S80 as a sunshine camera, it is AWSOME for holidays, beaches, colorful events etc. But on the other hand: the 1 inch sensor cameras are here now, that's serious improvement. Find a camera with good default colors/jpegs with it.
