Unless your view finder images through the lens, what's the benefit to be gained by squishing the camera up against your face?
Shade.
I was about to buy an S95 as a pocket camera / back up to my SLR but looking back announcements for S90 & S95 have both been on 19th August in 2010 & 2011 repectively so I will hang fire to either get an S100(?) or cheaper S95 depending on what it delivers. S100 sounds like evolutionary improvement on S95 which in turn was on S90 and is expected to be a 'better' camera following Canon's Kaizen strategy but I may not need it to turn out good pictures.
12mp would be nice but is not essential and wouldn't make me buy s100 over a cheap s95.
5x Zoom again good but better if wide angle goes out to 24mm (to 120) or even 27mm (to 135). Wider + 5x zoom would make me get the s100.
Other items I would like:
Even better dynamic range / low light handling / even bigger sensor (as rumored for G13). We can dream.
No change in max aperture unless it becomes f/1.8!
1080p would be interesting but is not essential. Slomo/fastmo capabilities of Nikon P300 would also be nice.
No increase in size/weight unless building in improved grip.
Move from 460k to 920k screen to rival P300 would also help in-camera review.
Improved start up time.
Closer macro focus.
Refurbished 1D MK IV just popped up today at the Canon refurb store,$4k OOS . . . musta only had one for sale
New 1D MK IV's are hard to find. Adorama wants $5500 for one.
One thing you will need to quickly realize is that if you ever intend to switch to full frame you wont be able to use EF-S lenses.
EF-S lenses also lose value pretty quickly.
I noticed you are using the 85mm, and that you are not that far away from the subject. I did try to take street photography with 70-200 + 1.4 TC so to have distance advantage, but in shorter distance, the white lens get noticed. I definitely need to learn from your work, and will check your flickr account frequently !
Take a look at her work, this is the link to her website. i thought it would be inspiring to share it with this community, she uses canon 5dm2
very creative i think!

Camera manufacturewrs have had a dismal record of product naming. They obviously did not forsee the rapid development of digital cameras, and thought that like film cameras, they might pop out a new model every 10 years.
They really need to develop a better plan for naming models.
Canon has a PowerShot S100 long time ago, a 2MP camera using CF card, probably the first digital Elph, as far as i remember. They should give the new camera a new name to avoid any confusion.I'm thinking the same. Hell, S95 Mk II would be fine.
The new "S95" replacement should have specs similar to the Olympus XZ-1.
yeah my order status is the same.
the only thing that worries me is:
"For delivery on Friday 31st December 9999 between 11:59pm - 11:59pm"
don't think I'll be home for that time XD
And besides, the 5D3 will probably have been announced by then....

Can anybody verifi this?
I can verify that Canon has never made a 'rule of thirds' focusing screen (they make grid screens, but the grids are more dense than that). Live View WITH autofocus? The current model does that. Bogus. But thanks for playing!
) admitted that they didn't look exactly right.
"Did you hear the one about the S-Class owner that doesn't tell people constantly that he drives an S-Class? Me neither."
must be the same as with the guys who post all the camera gear they own in their signatures.
Last I checked, my equip is the equivalent of a Honda Accord . . . don't get me wrong, I added a 1D badge to my 60D, took the 70-300mm and got some Testors Insignia Red to put around the rim and it shoots like one of those big-white lenses . . . no really! I can post a write-up if ya want with the exact specs, easily shoots twice as many FPS now
