Keep in mind the S2's new Kodak sensor is using an RGBI array, not a Bayer
pattern array.  Kodak claims significantly improved sensitivity (read: less
noise) from this array before any noise reduction software tricks.  My
expectations for the S2's image quality equal George's.  Combine this with
the S lens' MTF charts (straight lines across the top of the chart) and
I'll be sitting down before I download any S2 image files.  With cushions
on the floor surrounding my chair.
