Jim (or anyone, for that matter):

Do you see the S1 as a viable field camera, rather than strictly a studio
camera?
With a high powered laptop, do you think one could operate outdoors with
the S1? The only thing I have heard about it so far that I hate is the long
recycle
time.  Over a minute, isn't it?  I guess it would be OK for slow-moving model
photoshoots though where there is set up time between each photograph.
