Question about
Does anyone think this will be worth the upgrade over the S95?
I have had the S90 which I lost in a cab in San Francisco :( and purchased the S95 to replace. I may sell my S95 and get this, the S series have been a great line of cameras for when I do not want to lug my Nikon D7000 or D90 around.

The improvements:
- Slightly better lens (35mm film equivalent: 24-120mm from 28-105mm) with slightly better macro performance (you can get a little tighter 1.2" versus 2")
- low light performance improvements (claimed - probably modest as the sensor is the same size)
- slightly faster shutter (1/2000 versus 1/1600)
- and 1080 video at 24 fps.

The Verge claims that low light is better on the S95 vs S100. Grips and telephoto range are a big improvement. GPS is a nice feature, but not really usable indoors-- I would be curious to compare an S95+EyeFi with Location vs S100. The price difference is now about 30%. For my parents, I am considering to get them an S95 (after they saw my new S100)

I still have the S90. I think the grip they added might be reason enough for me. I feel like the S90 is hard to hold in some cases.

I'm planning to upgrade from my S90, but mainly because the S90 can only capture VGA video. For taking still pictures, the S90 is still an excellent performer. If I had the S95, I would wait for reviews first. I doubt the image quality is drastically improved to warrant an immediate purchase.
