Even allowing for lower noise and better stabilization, F/2 is a really bright lens and to get something comparable, affordably, on a DSLR, you're basically look at a 50mm f/1.8 prime.
Agree. I have a nice kit that includes a D700, D90 and about 30 kilos of lenses, and I love having a pocket-sized camera.

I lost my IXUS 120 when I left it on an AirAsia flight over the summer and have been looking for an affordable replacement. The S95 at this price seems great (though not as slim as the IXUS 120).

Thanks, OP.
