I could live with that. Dooes anyone know? Thanks!! I read online that you can use the other 2 aspect ratios aswell as the 4:3, but at the detriment of less pixels compared to the Panasonic LX3.

Am so upset it doesn't have a 3:2 aspect ratio too. I can't see why it doesn't. Could this be changed with a firmware update I wonder? Now have to hope the next one in this series does. Such an important omission. Argh! I have been waiting a long time for a camera like this. Am so upset it doesn’t have a 3:2 aspect ratio too.
I can’t see why it doesn’t.

Now have to hope the next one in this series does. Such an important omission. Argh!

When hauling around a DSLR and 4 lenses isn't practical, this should be perfect. Great job, Canon! The S90 is looking like the perfect pocket companion to my 40D.

It's called "planned obsolescence." By not providing HD, they can launch a S90x 9 months from now and sell the early adopters two cameras instead of just one.

I'm OK with the video not being HD. If I want awesome photo horsepower I use the DSLR, if I want awesome video horsepower I use the video camera. The S90 is a very pocketable alternative to both, albeit without the absolute quality of the physically larger, purpose built options. Seems fair to me.

That would be a very small market. If you could swap lenses like a mini-DSRL, you'd lose the small size and add weight. I think Canon has made a good compromise for advanced amateurs or pros who want a pocket size camera and still get some of the features that make the DSLR market so big.

I'm laughing how every 2nd comment is asking for HD video with all the responses that HD video isn't important... with entry level slrs so cheap, the only draw of a compact camera is compactness sorry but being able to take great pics, and 2 minutes videos of my kids with the camera in my pocket is a huge plus....and I don't want to carry around a video camera too. It would be easier to carry around an hd capable slr than 2 devices - and probably cheaper...! I want one with HD video!
