Good to hear the positive report on the Nikon 5900.
It sure sounds good on paper and it is getting good reviews.
I have only seen one review on the Canon S2:

Overall a good report.
I wish they had delved more into the "rapid fire" ability of the camera.

I own the Nikon Coolpix 5900, which I love for its ease of use, small size, and great photo quality.
I'm now in the market for a zoom camera with more photo-taking flexibility. I've been waiting for the S2-IS to come out, and would like any feedback. Is it as good as the S1-IS, only with more megapixels?
