S2 makes the cut. I appreciate looking into a big photo and seeing lots of detail, it's life. Howard's trolley picture comes to mind. Until recently that was more in the large format realm. The idea that a hand held camera can routinely do this is pretty intriguing. One wants to use it like an R, but it is much slower to work with, however, it doesn't require a Jeep load of equipment like a P2. With thought and practice one could achieve some pretty good flexibility with the S2. I did notice that two pros who wrote an S2 review used a tripod, so I'm not going to feel too clumsy for being a slow learner. It is not a cheap camera, but given its possibilities it is not an expensive camera. John Have you seen D.
