Re: S90 vs. G5X

Right on.  I've switched systems several times, and the learning curve is as much of a problem as the cost.

When I bought the FZ1000 in March of 2015, the plan was to use it for some local shots; but mostly for a high quality travel camera because of its portability.  I knew from the specifications that it could use the built in flash as the commander for wireless control of off-camera flash.  I had been doing that for a while with several earlier DSLR's, and expected to continue to use the 70D for that role for family gatherings.  But the FZ1000 turned out to be sharper than the 70D, so I sold the Canon gear and bought a pair of used Olympus FL36R flashes.

I really don't need a DSLR of MILC; but my GAS still nags me now and then; but in nearly 3 years I still haven't succumbed to GAS.
