Noise

The P90's automatic white balance is noticeably worse than the P80's--the blue channel is really weak--and a non-neutral white balance tends to exacerbate noise visibility. Here you can see that sharpness decreases markedly at ISO 200, and even below that everything looks a bit overprocessed. Unfortunately, even at ISO 64 there's visible color noise in even slightly shadowed areas (not shown).
