Anyone have one of these yet? Sure looks like an awesome setup. High ISO w/o noise and f/2 maximum aperature will allow for great available light shooting. User choice manual controls and RAW some of the features that make me drool.
I was all set to get a Panasonic ZS3 @ Costco (about $229 thru 12/20) until I saw the reviews on this.

A little pricey at just under $400.

I don't have one, but from what I am hearing it's the best P&S on the market.

Keith Kaneko, owner of 'Angling On the Fly' fly fishing travel service, just told me he has one and is using it on his trip right now to El Salto Reservoir just out of Mazatlan, Mexico.

He will probably be on here in a few days after he returns with some feedback.

I hear it is a good small P&S camera for someone who has some knowledge of photography and will be shooting with manual settings.

I just got one. I had the old S80 (w/ waterproof case) and I was bummed when they discontinued the line years back. The new S90 is sweet. Much smaller than the older S80 and it feels solid. The low light functionality truly is amazing and the manual modes are very intuitive (spinning ring around the lens).

Not sure if I'll get the waterproof case for it or even take it in the river, but it is the best compact camera you can buy if you want the additional control that the SLRs provide.

Every review I read said it's the bee's knees...and they're right. :)

I bought mine last week, and I am very impressed with the low light shooting. The manual modes are very convenient and plentiful. It's one of the coolest p&s cameras that I have had the pleasure to sell over the last 5 years selling digital cameras at Best Buy!

It is pricey but if you plan on adjusting settings often this camera rocks!

Here's a few random pictures from my S90:

The low light capability is impressive for a p&s.

I highly recommend this camera!

I am suprised Adam, no pictures of the dog. That one pic you posted of your dog a while back is my favorite.
