[Leica] powershot g11 -- like-a leica?

[henningw at archiphoto.com (Henning Wulff)]

The new S90 has even more appeal for me. It uses the same 10Mp sensor 
as the G11, also shoots raw, and has a 28-105 lens starting at f/2. 
It has a reasonable range of manual controls nicely laid out and it's 
slim enough to easily slip into a pocket.
