Yes, there's not much difference between the 1.8 and 2.0, but I'd like 
to have a fast lens for those too often foggy days on the water when I 
still want to catch the action.
I've given up on the idea of a viewfinder on my on-water camera, as they 
seem almost impossible to use in the churning water where I want to 
shoot. The camera I use now is usually mounted on my paddle when I'm 
taking stills and since I usually shoot with a wider angle, it's not so 
hard to compose a shot. As you say, I'm shooting blind and relying on 
the camera for a good focus. My first camera was a range finder, but 
what are you gonna do? I was shooting Tri-X then!
Although I could with my DSLR, I've never shot in raw, but as you say, 
memory is cheap now and I'd like to switch over. Not sure the S95 will 
shoot RAW+JPEG which would be nice.
