Those prints are just not going to melt right off the wall into a puddle on the floor when the S3 comes out. And anything you see from it on the internet is overkill by a handfull of decimal points. No I think an investment in an S2 is a sound one. If one invested in a modular system digital camera replacing the back is not that different money way than getting an S3. I'm willing to bet. An S2 is not all about having the "latest best". To imply that is certainly a slight to both the people who built the camera as the people who use them. They are a professional tool. They are not amateur eBay fodder. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Richard Man <richard at richardmanphoto.com> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2012 12:35:04 -0800 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] an interesting comparison of S2 > > You can probably make do with an initial $30K investment and get a single > lens (75mm) than an adapter for Hassy V and shoot all days and nights with > the "cheap" V Zeiss lens (stop down metering and all that) until you can > pony up for the other S2 lens. > > And of course no one is talking about S3... until now :-) Leica can slap a > 60 MP sensor in the same camera and announce it by Photokina. > > > > -- > // richard <http://www.richardmanphoto.com> > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
