Ed,

If you do a search on this forum for S90 or S95, you'll find lots and lots of folks that agree with us. One of the better contributors on this forum a few years back bought an S120, was disappointed with it, and went back to his S90. Newer isn't necessarily better. One of the advantages of the S90/95 is that the sensor is CCD; which a lot of folks think results in better color. I know it was one of my best cameras to capture fall color.

Here's I shot I took leaving Buenos Aires on a cruise ship. The skyline of the city is at the extreme bottom below the clouds. I set the camera to -2/3 stop to saturate the colors, and set the White Balance to "cloudy" to enhance the reds and yellows. Even though it was only a 10 MP image, when it was shown on the huge screen in the ship's theater, it held together and drew gasps from the crowd. It was a showing of passenger's images from the trip to Antarctica, and since this was at the very beginning of the cruise, it showed first.

Looking back at Buenos Aires from the River Platte.  Canon S95

As we sailed out, we were in a Martini bar with large windows. I glanced in the direction of the city and saw this dramatic sunset shaping up. I went out on deck, and this was the third shot, as I played with the settings.
