Here we are again.....it is now November, The S2 will not be out until January 2010 (?), Guy and Jack will not have one to shake down until next month, there are only a few RAW files to look at from a controlled shooting situation by Leica of one model at one ISO and a few stopped down aperture settings, and there is really nothing else to discuss about image quality, noise levels, performance capabilities, lenses, etc., so what is left....chew over prices, which by almost all accounts are still high in comparison to the competition. If Leica wants me to get excited about their S2 at this point, get it out there, get images out there, get lenses out there, and get real on the pricing, meaning get prices more in line with competitors that have excellent gear already in the market and proven. At this point, interest in the S2 just keeps slipping further and further away for some folks, myself included.
