Re: [Paddlewise] "Close to DSLR quality"

My interest in the Canon S95 originally came from its f2.0 lens, but I 
see the XZ-1 beats that with a 1.8! Also it has a bigger sensor. I've 
read some head to head comparisons that put the S95 ahead or neck and 
neck. For me, price will be a factor. Did I read that the XZ-1 has a 
built in ND filter? That would be nice!
Although the S95 is in a small body that I'd rather not use on land with 
my big hands, I figure it may make the WP case a little easier to deal 
with on the water.
Your photos look great and close enough to DSLR for me!
