Thanks - interesting information. This is my first compact in about 6 years and I am just getting used to the limitations compared to a full frame DSLR (not a fair comparison, I know). The pocket size is a major plus when I don't want to carry a DSLR, but I think I will stick to day light shots for the S90.

OTOH, I should have plenty of shots to try out the (vastly?) improved noise reduction feature in LR3.
