I don't know how much you can judge from magazine printed examples, 
still I
thought they were reasonable examples of resolution and resistance to 
moire
for instance. Fashion/beauty work probably more than any other relies on
extensive post processing to achieve particular ' looks'. Can you 
explain
why you think they are fake or why you dislike them?"

Geoff,

Fair enough question. Boring. In a word, the photos are boring.

Based this group of photos, I would have no interest in the camera. 
Another set of photos with the S2 might show it differently.

And I might even like it if I used one for my type of photographic 
work, but as shown in the latest issue of LFI, I don't like it. It's 
just my opinion.

The interesting thing about the current issue of LFI is that the 
photography becomes more interesting as you go deeper into the 
magazine. The M9 photos are a step up from the the S1's and the film 
cameras' work is the best.

There's nothing like film.

Although I use digital, shoot with an M8, I still prefer film.

I'm not gaga about digital.
