What the fuck is up, Denny's?!
1) I started playing with my S95 tonight and I noticed that it has a gazillion various scene modes such as beach, snow, portait and so on.

As someone who's fairly familiar with the concepts of exposure from experience with DSLRs, should I be bothering with those modes at all? Basically, are they squeezing out some secret functionality from the camera that I don't have access to when shooting in the modes from grown-ups?

2) How much can I trust a S90/S95 to be smart for me? On a DSLR I would be manually adjusting ISO and White Balance and whatever else, but it's definitely more of a pain to do when you don't have dedicated buttons for those functions. Will I still get good results if I leave those on auto, or should I be crucified for even thinking that?

So basically try to avoid 800+ iso if possible, as the camera doesn't handle them too well?
