How had I not heard of the S90? Might see if I can get my hands on a review model.</p> http://www.ben.geek.nz/forum/topic/christmas-gadget-gift-guide-digital-cameras#post-665 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:02:03 +0000 Ben 665@http://www.ben.geek.nz/forum/ <blockquote><p>Here&#8217;s the first of my Christmas gift guides for 2009.

The S90 has the same oversized sensor as the G11, but adds a faster f/2 lens, direct control rings and a bigger LCD in a smaller, lighter package for less money. So why would I want a G11? Just to carry more weight? That&#8217;s the only reason I can see, and there are guys who buy things because they weigh more.&#8221;</p>
