FWIW - a side story: I've been avoiding the S2 debate, having appreciated it so much while holding it briefly. Big $, limited lenses, and while it has the sexiest form factor, my needs were for WLF instead. Just lazy with the DSLR format - don't think as hard. Composing off that glass in a WLF just makes me work harder and take better shots - for each his own.
One day in Colorado, the Hy6 and I went for a brief mountain stroll - or so it started. 4 hours later we (!) were both on the side of a mountain, too exhausted to go up or down, with about 3 hours work either way. Well, we got out of that jam, but upon getting home, I found that the Leaf back and the camera had decided to quarrel as well - something about the thin air, the cold, and the lack of any rational behaviour that day.
Needless to say, a family pow-wow was held, and all parties agreed to start over, and not do anything like that again.
All this to point out that sometimes the best of friends sometimes do silly things they regret later. I would have taken out my anger at the camera and back, except that I was even more stupid than they. Everyone has been on good behaviour since.
Clearly not a professional expedition. Not even close.
