I notice that review still has a release date of "early 2007" and some of the details remain listed as "unknown". I had an S2 - my first DSLR. An awesome camera with the one flaw of being way to slow for sports photography - which is what I was using it for. :-( Traded it in for a D1H and then a D2H. Those had awesome speed, but the pictures were crisper from the Fuji. I've been waiting for the S5 specs to come out - and / or the camera itself hit the market. It's the one camera that might convince me to buy another Nikon DSLR.
