Looks like a solid camera to me on the image quality side.
I have read some folks that think it's a bit too “plasticy”. We'll see when we get our grubby hands on it.

I’d rather have mid-boggling still images than HD video. but I do respect that is a user preference thing, and it’s a little odd when the video options are weaker than a camera not just one generation, but two generations older — the G9 has better recording setups
agreed. I wonder if they’re weakening the lower ISOs in order to get better signal-noise ratio at the higher ISOs?
Well, my SD400 do the same video recording… On my list for a compact, quality is for sure #1, but video as it’S importance. S90 MKII (or whatever) should address that in the future… just hope 10MP will still be there (and not 12MP)
That wouldn’t really make sense (low ISO vs high ISO isn’t really a trade-off situation.) Much more likely is that they toned down the image processing to appeal more to professionals/serious amateurs, who can apply it in post if they want and generally dislike the excessive punch that the many consumer cams apply by default (which of course they do because many people like the high contrast look.)
Well, if it’s a jpeg, they probably SHOULD make it punchy…so as to not mandate post-processing. Just my opinion.
