If I already have a s90 (which I love to bits), should I even be thinking about the XZ-1?

 

[aizan]

the xz-1 is a little larger, so if you got the s95 because it was smaller than, say, the lx5, i'd say no.

Bump?

Was looking at S95s awhile ago when they were $369 on amazon, now it looks like the price just shot way up everywhere

Cheapest place I can get one right now (online)?

Not sure if it's the cheapest, but I ordered mine from Dell: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=a4143742

PSA: cheapest I have ever seen
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...inc-20&tag=slicinc-20&ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
S95 for $229 shipped.

I know the s100 is out but it is almost double the price and it is certainly not double the camera....I have bought so much crap recently and I would rather be buying gifts for others, but I am seriously tempted to pick this up for that price

^ I lost my S90 in the summer, I was really bummed out. Tempted to get that as a replacement.

I've had my s90 for about 1.5 years now...still loving it. Best p&s I've ever owned.

I got the XZ-1 as a second camera to my 5DII six months back. But my interest in taking photos tapered off after that. I carried both on my recent trip to Thailand. Of the 600 pics I took, around 10 were with the 5DII. You can see some of my pics with the XZ-1 at http://www.ahinsa.in/category/thailand-3/. Be warned, they are touristy type pics and the website is a work in progress I started a week back after tumblr suspended my account.
