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.
