The D300 users thread has been useful for me so thought a S90/S95 thread would be useful too - just picked up my new S95 today! Manual does not go into much detail so this will be a great place to ask any questions, get help or advice and post tips.
My initial impressions... feels weird handling a compact again after almost 4 years of DSLR use. Took a few test shots earlier though and will have a look at later tonight.
My initial question... how does f2 and say f4 compare with f2 and f4 on a DSLR? By that I mean when I take a portrait shot around 50mm, on my DSLR f2 will require me to nail focus well, as some of the head will be oof and any background nice and blurred. Having initially looked at shots on the S95, the background is reasonably clear. Likewise, on a DSLR I will often use f4 or f5.6 for portraits, and f8 for bigger groups, so would I need f8 on the s95 or would a diff aperture be fine - obviously I am not expecting the S95 to be as good as a DSLR!
