I believe the s90 has considerably smaller sensor size that slr's, even micro four thirds compacts

"Canon's using the same size sensor as the G10 used to use, but actually cut the megapixels down to get better light sensitivity. The S90 also has a fast F/2.0 lens, and it's not the size of a gorilla fist. Did I mention it was cheaper too? $430 to the G11's $500."
- G11 sensor is bigger. Also, the G11 shoots RAW.zarkonite

i should add about the sigma dp1:
f4 maximum aperture + max iso of 800 + shit autofocus in low light = you will not be using this camera at night.
- why can't these bozos get it right for a change?********

Here are the recaps of the camera strengths:

* 24 mm wide angle lens
* Hot shoe for flash for external viewfinder or other accessories
* HD video recording vs standard video recording
* Max 2 cm focusing for macro photography compare to 5 cm
* Better build quality and casingCanon S90 IS
* Pocket-able size
* Versatile zoom lens 28-105mm f/2-4.9
* Cleaner image in high ISO setting
* Two round dials, one is customizable
* Fast performance, solid interface design
* $70 Cheaper (based on MSRP)source -
http://www.radiantlite.com/2009/…The LX3 appears to shoot HD video, thats a big plus over the s90.
Although from what ive seen the s90 does great night shots -ive yet to see good night shots with the LX3.

any progress?
i now have to buy a new camera...thanks you bastards.
SLR's are too big for me, these look great.
Does the LX3 take good night shots? ive yet to see any
and the s9 appears to take v good night shots.What do you lot suggest?
which compact SLR?
- Hombre_Lobo0
and what do compact SLRs lack in comparison to standard (digital) SLR cameras?
- GeorgesII0
I'm thinking I'm going to get the LX3 over the s90,
just because it has a hot shoe, but I'm still deeply influencable,is there only 2 camera worth buying at this price range, anymore?

Any advice on a lower budget? Say around $200-300?
New coolpix look ok... but confusing lineup.
