Having seen the preliminary S2 photos and the ratio of its size to output 
quality and DSLR handling and the no-nonsense user interface and what I've 
heard about the production camera's responsiveness and manual-focus-ability 
I'm completely smitten with it and wish they'd hurry up and get that 350mm 
APO-Elmar-S on the market.  Then I'll start selling kidneys on ebay.
