There's some pics I posted on my pocket shooter site with some low light shots if anyone is interested. I plan on doing a raw vs jpeg comparison in different lighting situations soon 🙂
Anyone planning to get the new Canon S90?

Have one and brought it with me to Paris. Did not shoot a lot (busy with other stuff), but really liked it. It fits in my front pocket and the controls are very well though through. The front ring I use to set aperture, the back ring to set shutter speed and the custom button in combination with back dial to set ISO. The lack of viewfinder bothers me less than I expected, I guess I previsualize a lot more than I was aware of, so when I take a shot I just use the back screen to confirm focus and then maybe quickly (re)compose. The composing part is basically lining up the bottom corners of the screen with the bottom corners of my previsualized image.
One small hickup, I set up to shoot RAW and large JPEG, but did not check the RAW option in another menu and ended up with large JPEG's only.
Will post some B+W pictures this week, a quick look in Photoshop showed a lot of information.
DOF is indeed not very limited, but have to confess I did not shoot a lot wide open. Wish it had the SIGMA DP2 sensor and then it would be the perfect little shooter. I had the DP2 but sold it at a relatively big loss, I really hated the interface and just needed to get rid of it as fast as I could (it did have excellent image quality though).

Every camera is a compromise. Not having an optical viewfinder is the big one for me (even a tiny one like the Canon G10 is useful). Having too much DoF is also a drawback sometimes. But I bought an S90 anyway, and it is a very nice camera indeed. I was going to buy a G11 but the pocketability was the clincher. Ergonomics are super. Image quality also.
