Anyone with the S90 P&S?

[IPT]

So my A640 P&S got some funny lines on some of the images. I think it is starting to go out on me. I am looking to replace it. Many have recommended the S90. What is nice is it has RAW. What I don't like is the zoom only goes to 105mm (but at least it is pretty wide at 28mm on the wide end).

Anyone have expereince with this thing, or other suggestions? (I use the 5D for the serious stuff. I am looking for something to just throw in my pack when I am goign skiing or mtn biking without the intention of taking pictures because you never know what might pop up).

I have a S90... I love it... At the wide end, the lens is pretty fast (f2.0) The only complaints I hear is the rear dial to some is loose. It's pretty easy to hit. I don't have any problems at all though... The camera does require you to hold it a little differently than a regular P&S. The pop off flash will surprise you, but since I'm mostly at wide, I rarely need flash at all.
I like that you can assign the control ring to any of the various settings as well... All in all, I love it and since it's so small, I tend to take it with me a lot more... Here's a sample...

cool shot. Thanks for the feedback. Gonna try and get one in my hands this weekend.

My one reservation is the lack of zoom. If you take an image of something in the distance and crop it how does it hold up?

I haven't had any problems with cropping at all. Also, the f2.0 is only at the widest setting... The S90 is basically the G11 (same sensor) but in the smaller package. It's got a faster lens at wide, but you are missing a couple features in the menu (Can't remember which ones off the top of my head...)
