I was happy for years with a Canon AE-1P/A-1 and ISO 100, 1000. I love noise on Tri-X 400 black and white film.

Oh, yes.  Tri-X!  Many fond memories.

Those memories mark me, and you, as oldies, and I hope we're at least somewhat goodies.

I was pleased as a seal in a fish tank with my S95, shot thousands of images with it, many of which I printed in 11x14 photo books.  Great detail!  Great color!  Terrific dynamic range!  Small!  Unobtrusive!  Goes anywhere!

But then my beloved S95 gave up, with a "lens error."   After shedding a tear or two, I got a G9X.  I love the G9X, too.

But the S95 was, and still is, a fine, fine camera, in its own right.  An amazing instrument.  I have many images to prove the point.  Yes, an oldie, but very definitely a goodie.   The S line cameras are wonderful still, and are a big bargain in today's market.
