Hi Tim and Miserere

The S90 is a great little camera.  Just a couple of notes.

You most likely shoot RAW, but if you use JPG, Canon's default
compression is is the mid-level that they call "fine."  I'm guessing
you would prefer "superfine."  To change it, you need to move from
Auto to Program.  They don't even give you the option in auto.

The local Canon expert says that Canon assumes that most of their
point and shoot customers share photos in email and, if they print at
all,  never make anything larger than a 4x6 print.  I guess they feel
the smaller file size is more important.

As for the oddities of Auto - a lot of the camera makers disable a
variety of features in auto.  They feel they are protecting their
customers from accidentally changing settings that would give them
worse than average photos.
