In fact, I thought XP2 had a little of that too perfect look sometimes too. While that may not be the look you want in some cases, it can be great in others. I had this experience with it: I shot a bunch of outdoor stuff on assignment. The client liked it and filled their annual report with it but couldn't settle on a cover. I pulled out a single print from my personal-work files, similar subject matter shot on XP2 outdoors, with a tonal quality that I thought was stunning. Bingo, they made it the cover. And we both agree this new Kodak stuff is even better! I think it's one terrific tool, but not one for every set of circumstances. Bill
