canon power shot s95

[smokes]

Hi I am looking for compact to go on holiday with.
It seems like the canon s95 is the best from the reviews.
Has anyone got one?
I'd like to know if it is easy enough to setup and use. As I don't know enough about photography..
What the battery life like?
How fast is the shutter? I really hate the digtal camera for taking an age to take a photo it like going back to glass plate photograhy.
What it like in low light conditions?
What the limitations of the len size?
I really need something that is a lot better than my fiancees olympus x765..

thanks
