.Canon Powershot S95

.Ugh! Just when I recently blogged about getting Canon's Powershot S90. S95 is released! Now I am torn between which unit I am gonna be getting! I know the most obvious choice would be getting the more latest model, but well, it isn't exactly efficient to me financial-wise. And I'm sure this newly released product is still expensive and WAY over my budget.

.And of course, the specs are to DIE FOR as well~ I can't catch up with all the upgrades, here!! 8-}

Sounds just like a Panasonic Lumix LX3 and the LX5.. I mean there's not much difference just few new features which are not really necessary for an upgrade. Design-wise, they still have the same face. In your case, I suggest you get the newer model else get the older one if the new one do not appeal.. or better yet, get a dslr. :D
