Re: History of Canon's S & G series cameras

Glad you enjoyed my post.  The S90 uses a modern battery warning.  3 bars inside the outline of a battery.  But it's just as unreliable as all the other Canon battery life indicators.  Great little camera though.  I have carried an S90, and for a while an S95; since 2009 on many many land trips and cruises.  I actually preferred the S90 over the "improved" S95.  The Franiec grip works on either camera and just transforms the feel in my hand.

The rear wheel around the four-way cluster on the rear is easily moved when you grip the camera.  Lensmate came out with the Rear Wheel Solution Ring. which nicely solves the issue.  Lensmate still has those for $6, and I recommend it highly.

The Franiec front grip is out of production; but B&H has the Flip-bac stick-on silicone rubber grips.  Only $10.  I used the G2 on my S95.  Otherwise, handling the S90/95 is like holding a used bar of soap.
