"Big sensor" is a bit of an overstatement with respect to the Canon S90 or anything else in this class. The Panasonic LX-5, Leica D-Lux 5 and Olympus XZ-1 are all related cameras in this class and competitive with the S90/S95 on features and performance. There seem to be a bazillion other cameras in this size class out there, I don't know how they rank. The 'big sensor' step up would be an Olympus Pen E-P2, Panasonic Lumix GF2, Sony Alpha NEX, etc. That is, FourThirds and APS-C format cameras with interchangeable lenses in a compact form factor, but not as compact as the above. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
