I played with the s90. It did better than most if not all pocketable point and shoot cameras in low light. I'm comparing it to the sony and nikon equivalent. If it means anything to you I shot up to iso 400 with little noise. It has a nice sized screen and it's comfortable to hold.

The best point and shoot camera is the Canon PowerShot G11. I own one and it takes amazing pictures.

Making the moderators cyber-sit me is probably a good way of getting my account locked for a while. I know they're busy folks volunteering their time to help others out.It's selfish of me and others who make their task more time consuming and difficult than it already is. In fact I should either chip in and help out or not participate at all. I'm going to do my best to be part of the solution and not the problem from now on.

It's a beast but that's almost the size of a non-gripped DSLR! You could always try to stuff that in your pocket and tell women you are happy to see them.

Both the S90 and the G11 are both recommended cameras.

The G11 does take DSLR like pictures. It's like a mini DSLR. Usable up to 800 iso, control over aperture and shutter with a nice lens even at both ends. I do remember reading that the s90 and the G11 have the same sensor and processor. I think the sensor is from Sony.
