So the S95, maybe i was expecting a little more?

I used to have the sd850 which i thought was an amazing point n shoot. I havent used a point n shoot for a while and recently got the s95. I have been playing around with it for a while now and just took it to the grand canyon, i dont know if im crazy about it.
I took these ages ago with my sd850

Am i crazy or expecting too much?

EDIT:

i think i take it back i have had a little play around with some images i have taken and i am happy wit hit, see below post from me to see pics

Checked out this thread or maybe this one? Don't try to use it as a "PhD" camera; treat it with the same respect you would your 5D2.

Hard to say without any similar samples from your s95 as comparisons.

It is always easy to reminisce about old cameras, but you usually don't have all your crap shots around as comparisons, only the really good ones.

although i must say that the blacks dont seem to be very black.....i had to tweak those pics a lot and why when i have it in AV mode at night does it always underexpose?

Can you make a TIFF then jpeg of the untweaked RAW shots? That might help?

Some recent ones from S95 - on the contrary, i think its a Brilliant little Camera! It goes where other cameras dont - and yet gives a lot of manual control!

Thanks Don. Yes ofcourse - as the saying goes, garbage in garbage out so if the lighting / subject isnt image worthy, either you dont get a great image, or you have to work it to apparently improve one of those via prespective / lighting etc.....
