Canon S90 real worl low light pictures

Are you guys mostly shooting raw or jpegs out of it? I usually shoot raw all the time, but if the magic is in the in-camera processing, maybe I'd have to rethink that.
 
For anything that I think will be a real challenge, I shoot RAW, but for most shooting I'm using the Large Superfine JPEG and am very happy with the in camera processing. This was at the theater last night with friends just before Avatar in 3D (hence the funny glasses)...1/8sec, f/2, 800ISO handheld...

Here is one quick shot taken with Canon S90 at ISO 800, f/2.0, 1/20s. I took the same shot with my M8 and it has a lot more noise. Unfortunately I didn't save that one.

Here is one more with the Canon S90. ISO 1600, f2.0, 1/15s. I'm starting to feel that this camera is quite amazing for a small sensor pocket cam.

Thanks to all for posting the S90 photos, especially at high ISO's. I had the LX3 and found 2 annoying things: the screen was very difficult to view in bright outdoor light and the tele end was too short. It did deliver outstanding b&w jpegs. Now I use a G10 and it is quite good, though far from shirt pocketable. I've been looking at the S90 and perhaps the WX-1, but as noted earlier, haven't found enough info on the Sony.
