I suspect you're right sugaroni, a comparison of the S90 vs G10 shows they have the same sized sensor, both have a 1/1.7" sized sensors which is a step up from almost all the other small cameras.

If I'm not mistaken, the S90 uses the exact same sensor as the Canon G10 -- in a smaller package -- so it also has excellent image quality for something so small.
