There are lots of very good P&S cameras. I still haven't found the perfect one.

Re: S90 vs Panny LX5?

This sounds like a pretty minor tweak in the G12 and S90. I'd like to see some more revolutionary changes though, particularly in sensor performance, video function, and even the lens department. I think the new Panny LX5 made a few smart moves.

Here's a blog post I wrote about it here: http://www.aputure.com/blog/?p=407

I'd like that too. Concerning the sensor, the only way to get better image quality is: bigger sensors and less pixels.
