George,
You are correct on all counts. The S90 offers advanced features for
us, ahem, advanced photographers, but Canon makes sure the camera will
be capable of working correctly if a rich idiot buys it too. No reason
not to collect money from the rich idiots if they're already
collecting it from us poor idiots.
