It's BIG as life, understandable when you consider the sensor size. It was much lighter than I expected--seemed a lot lighter than, say, a 500 Hasselblad. Auto-focus was very swift (though I am not one to judge, never having owned an autofocus SLR). The store had a portfolio of 2-foot prints which were astounding. I was there with my brother-in-law who was looking for a smaller-than-dslr quality camera. Partially based on the buzz from the LUG, I suggested we look at the u4/3 cameras from Panasonic and Olympus. He ended up walking out with the GF1. We also looked at the 7-14 Panasonic lens which is a real gem. While I'm not a fan of the retro aesthetics of the Olympus u4/3 cameras, the EFV on the E-P2 really blows away the corresponding Panasonic unit. If there is a common theme in S2s and u4/3, it's that you can't beat squares (square inches). -rei On 03/13/2010 08:36 PM, John Nebel wrote: > Does anyone have S2 experiences to relate? > > John Nebel > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
