S envy.  I finally got to hold one in a store a month ago.  While the size 
is a major negative for me, and the price a major drawback, it felt good in 
the had, like my R8 and unlike any 35mm size digital I have owned or 
handled.  Yours and others photos area a major positive.

What's to be said?
I viewed both.
And thought, "fantastic resolution. great dynamic range. I WANT A LEICA S. 
what crimes could I get away with? should I sell the house? buy an S? and 
live out of a van? so many possibilities."
