our real needs?
h-m-m
i can always use
more fine detail,
dynamic range
and noise free high ISO numbers
at times - I actually need more
of each

budget?
yeh well that's a hard one

yet, we have no idea
what budget we're talking about

we're just spitt'n' in the wind
and wiping our faces

over and over again

for me - bottom line
the S2 appears to be a truly beautiful
imaging tool - in working prototype form
whether I ever hold a production unit
in my hands - or not
also
I enjoy seeing Leica
step up to the plate
and make significant 2nd or 3rd base hits
whether I can afford to take them home
or not
same for Canon and others
it's fun to see these developments

why do we lament
the lack of perfection
for our particular uses
and budgets?

Fond regards,
George
