Folks,
sorry to say but valuations of files like "clinical quality" etc etc are something really showing - let me try to say this friendly - esoteric and artificial approach to digital image processing - I could have said in much more harsh words
What is the real bad thing about the S2? Why do so many people get upset about this new system? Why does the red dot make people turn a switch in their brain and suddenly measure all and everything differently?
I like what the S2 produces so far. I also like the size and design philosophy behind this system and its flexibility. I like the Leica lenses - admittedly not knowing the S lenses but I am sure they will be outstanding.
Will you be able to produce better images compared to a different MF system? I dare to say no! It always will depend on the photographer to 80% and the camera to 20%.
Now WRT features like fast flash sync times - there are many situations which need this (photographers think they need this), but there are much more situations where you do NOT need it. And arranging your shoot accordingly makes this in many case unnecessary. So as you already can tell from my writing, I will almost never use and need it for what I do. So I could not care less about the shortest sync times etc etc.
But what I really care is easy handling, easy carrying and logical operation of the system - and the S system promises this.
There is one small issue and this is availability - camera and lenses. I really hope that Leica will be able to make this system available asap, because otherwise they will lose potential buyers, the ones who need a system in the next few months and cannot buy the S2 and some decent lens line up.
