PhotoPlus Nikon Disappointment

NEW YORK -- I was hoping Nikon would finally add a point and shoot camera with RAW image capabilities to its already overflowing line of Coolpix cameras. Didn't happen. Instead, Canon pulled another one out of the hat, introducing the Canon S90.

This looks to be a very interesting camera, with some tremendous specifications:

• 10.0 Megapixels with large 1/1.7 inch CCD sensor
• Optical image stabilization
• Face and blink detection
• Really fast F/2 lens
• 28mm wide angle
• ISO3200 speeds and higher
• 3.8x Optical zoom
• Shoots RAW and JPEG
• Up to 1-1/2 hours of 640x480 30fps video on an 8GB SD/SDHC card

For those times you don't want to carry your big DSLR, this looks very promising.

Here's a short video on the S90.
