Well I read the review of the s95 on IR, but it didn't find anything about binning. Can just tell me what it is?

In simple terms, it's when you take multiple pixels and connect them to become one "super pixel".
Basically, you lose MP to gain a better SNR.
That way, at least in theory, you can flip a switch and jump back and forth between a D3x-equivalent sensor and a D3s-equivalent sensor all in one body. Or something like that.
