@skyblaze personally i would like plain old black. but more importantly, when is Canon gonna finally update that SD970 IS that we all loved?]]>May 11th 2010 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/

This, the Canon S90, or wait for the successor of the S90...

I just need a camera, and i'm willing to go to the Micro 4/3 category...

These pocket cameras are great but always terrible if you try want to shoot in no-auto mode (yes you can do it, but there are like gzillion menus you have to go through)]]>May 11th 2010 10:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/May 11th 2010 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/Sony launched NEX.

S90 and G11 us the same sensor and software, and the S90 actually has a brighter lens....Both of these cameras allow you to change all of your manual settings on the fly without going through menu's so I'm not sure what you're talking about there.

@deeveeanc

There is a HUGE difference between an S90 and a Micro 4/3rds camera. While very advanced the S90 is still a point and shoot, limited by it's low light capabilities.]]>May 11th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/
Well... I think I might go for the NEX since it looks rather small. Small enough for an usher, such as myself, to mistake it for a PnS... That and it looks rather beastly, plus it has HD video and interchangeable lenses...

To be honest, i'm an 'enthusiast' photographer and just want great shots no matter what.]]>May 11th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/May 11th 2010 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/May 11th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/canon-debuts-low-light-lovin-powershot-sd4000-is-digicam/

320x240 at 240 fps (actually a multiple of NTSC (8 x 29.97)).

Too bad they did also add 640x480 at 60 fps (it only has 30 fps at higher than 320x240 fps).

I believe S90 (with 1/1.7" sensor) and f2 aperture will perform much better in low light.
