Trying to decide what to do about about my pocket digital camera. I have a Canon S90, which I like a lot. Great combination of image quality, manual controls, raw capture, small size, and decent price point.

I lost the battery and charger. $100 to gt new ones from Canon. You can get off brands much cheaper, but I haven't had good success with those in the past.

The S110 is the current version of the camera for $349. The S120 has been announced and will be available shortly. Only apparent difference is the S120 will hav the new Digic 6 processor, instead of the Digic 5. This appears to allow faster autofocus, but doesn't improve image quality. It will also be $100 more expensive.

I have a Canon D5 SLR if I need a more capable camera. So I'm leaning toward getting the S110 now, and saving the $100.

That is really terrible. Prayers to his family.

I missed this, what happened?

This is truly terrible.

I think the story was that an official went into the middle of the road to pick up something (during the race) and was struck by the cyclist.

Story I read said the official tried to toss a walkie talkie into the lead car; missed; stepped into the road to retrieve the walkie talkie, and was hit.

That's horrible. Was this from the video we all saw with the bad course routing? I didn't know he was still in the hospital from that. RIP.

Doesn't sound like the same one.

it is the same one;

No. That race was earlier in the year in VA

Sad news about Cole Porter. One of my work colleagues is close friends. This sport is stupid.

The Telenet-Fidea cyclocross team is reporting on Twitter that American Amy Dombroski was killed in a training today.

Both, awful.

Just saw this. Ugh. :(

do the charger and battery from the s100 work for your s90? i think it's an nb-5l battery. if so (and assuming you actually want to keep your camera), i may be able to help you out. i've had to make a somewhat forced upgrade, so i'll have an s120 on hand tomorrow to compare to the rx100 & rx100m2.

the rx100 series is marginally larger based on specs but feels noticeably larger than the canons in hand, which may or may not be material for you.

Rough day, man.

something to brighten your day.

you'd almost think ex wrote it.

Don't believe so. S90 uses the nb-6l. Rediculous how they change the battery slightly. Over the years I've got a collection of slightly different sized, orphaned Canon chargers as I've upgraded, replaced cameras.

Like to hear how you like the S120.

The RX100 looks great. I like the smaller size, and cheaper price of the Canon. Also having always used Canon cameras, the controls on the Canon are intuitive, so I tend to stick with Canon.

friggin bikes man. is it worth it?

Anyone know what kind of bike racing this is: http://deadspin.com/what-is-this-wei...day-1440728139

Reminds me of this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111361/

And Yes, I have seen it.

speechless.

weird--the 120 appears to use the nb-6l (from a cursory search). keeping your chargers may pay off in the future!

i've heard the IQ of the rx100 & rx100m2 is improved, though i haven't been able to test it yet. IQ matters to me.

i wanted to have all the cameras in-hand as the form factor is also an issue. my initial impression is that the rx100 may be just a bit bigger than i want for this application. don't like the pop-up flash (that it must be pushed down to retract) and not a fan of the articulating screen (heavier/bigger) on the m2. i don't need the hotshoe adapter, which takes up a bit more space. maybe the IQ will make me willing to overlook this.

love that stuff! all the best part of criteriums, none of the pointless b.s.

I want that 2 min of my life back.
