Yes, it's got great high ISO performance. However, it has lousy low ISO daytime performance. This is due to the new and untested CMOS sensor.What's the deal breaker, that none of the reviews mention? As an avid night time / astro photographer, the 1 second exposure limit above ISO 80 compared to the LX 5 2.0 250 second limit is a HUGE problem for me. That, combined with scattered reports of quality control issues (my copy from best buy was indeeed very soft in the corners) leaves me with no choice but to stick with my Lx5. If only they had made it a little bit better with a wider aperture it would be appreciated as it's size is a great benefit over the competition. So, I'm holding out for the S110 or S150.... it's just not worth $100 more than the already good S95 or Lx5. Either of those are much better cameras for the money.
