Re: Compare S70 To S90?
1

Quite a lot of difference starting with a lot more weight and size, much smaller LCD screen, no IS, 7 MP VS 10,  Focal length range is close; but the S90 has a faster lens at 28 mm (f/2 vs f/2.8).

I liked the S70 and it gave me a lot of nice shots.  Recently, I got nostalgic about the S70 and bought another one.  Unfortunately, the camera's actual performance didn't measure up to my memories, and I sold it.

The S90, on the other hand, still competes fairly well against my G7X II, particularly in good light.  I have the S90 fitted with the Franiec grip and the Lensmate Solution Ring around the four way cluster.  They improve the handling significantly.  The ring is still available; but for a front grip, the Flip-bac is pretty good.

If you can't find a good S90, the S95 is very close.
