I've owned tons of digital cameras over the years. Of course, my preferred camera is a DSLR, but I wanted a compact camera to take on vacation or to parties. I always used "standard" point-and-shoot cameras for that role, but last year I stepped up to a Canon G10 so I could have more flexibility and control. I loved the G10. It took excellent photos, but it was a tank--big, chunky, heavy, and not what you want to carry around Disneyland for 16 hours. So when I saw that they took the guts of a G11 and put them into an actual compact, I knew I had to have it.
The S90 is by far the best point-and-shoot I've used. It outperforms the G10 in picture quality (both overall, and looking and 100% zooms of the pixels), is light and compact, and has full manual control (and a very clever control ring that makes manual adjustment very easy). You will not find a better camera per cubic inch. Yet, I did find that I had to get over my "cameras must look big and professional" insecurity. The G10/G11 are beautiful cameras--big metal rangefinder-like bodies with knobs and levers everywhere. The S90 has a plastic body that can easily be mistaken for a $100 cheapo compact. But the more photos I look at from this camera, the less I care about what the camera looks like.Get more detail about Canon PowerShot S90IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3.8x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3-inch LCD.
