[Leica] GF1 vs Canon S90

[s.dimitrov at charter.net (slobodan Dimitrov)]

Well, it was a toss up. I needed something pocketable, finding the Canon G10 
a tad big, never mind very slow.
While coming back from a shoot, I stopped in at Samy's Camera in Costa 
Mesa., thinking I'd just do a comparison between the various models.
Trying the S90 was a mistake. As soon as I fired off a few shots, I bought 
it.
The S90's biggest draw for me, is its speed. It's much faster than the G10. 
And from I can see from the available light shots, it also outperforms the 
G10 there.
The next day I used it on an assignment, and got a nod from the client that 
the quality was fine. That's sending images alongside those from a 1D.
Having said that, once I can get a 14mm, or better yet a flatfield 12mm, for 
the GF1, that's the next purchase.
Now if only the X-1 was wider!
