Buying a point annd shoot tomorrow for my vacation as a 5d2 backup. Would you buy;
A) Used (mint) s90 for $200
B) New S100 $410 (all in).
Kinda torn, really did not want to spend 400 but keep looking at the differences and they seem huge. Before you ask, video means nothing to me so I don;t care about those features of the $100. Helllpppp!
I'm too lazy to look up the specs, admittedly. But IMO if I wanted the best quality, I'd use the 5D2. A point-and-shoot would be more useful when I didn't want to lug something around, so I'd be looking for something compact that could easily fit in a pocket. And $410 for a p&s? No way in my book! I'm sure the s90 would do just fine...most point-and-shoots serve their purpose quite well.
Im concerned primarily with picture quality rather than gps, 3d or any of that other junk.. I will use the 5d2 but bringing it to dinner is not going to happen lol
