I just got my 950 today (had my 900 stolen in California last Friday so this upgrade could not have come at a better time). While I loved the 900, the 950 is without question a significant upgrade. While I have used the 900 A LOT in all kinds of lighting conditions, I would tend to agree that the 950 is not quite as sensitive in VERY low light conditions, but unless your taking night shots for the CIA, what's the deal? You shouldn't be taking shots at 7 lux anyway for Gods sakes. That's like buying a boat and saying it doesn't perform well in a hurricane. I guess I'm not a died in the wool videographer, because I love the creature comforts of the camera. With the exception of that ultra sensitive zoom control, it's adding up nicely.
