Let's try to stay on track folks and not kick up too much sand.
Aye, aye Captain.Let's try to stay on track folks and not kick up too much sand.
It's a waste of band width anyway.
Back to our regularly scheduled program:
I'd get the S2 in a heart beat if I could afford it. Perfect solution for me at this time and place in my career.
A M9 will have to do :thumbs:

Raw processors seem to be more personal preferences than anything and it is what it is. The S2 comes with LR. Something us C1 folks have to deal with if we go down this route. Now if we could see the files than case closed but we won;t know that until we get our hands on some files. Something we can debate for sure if that is the case.
What we need to figure is this fits our style and our budgets and that is certainly a tall order for some , including me. I just don't have the money right now and regardless would it be worth the change. Us existing MF shooters are sitting on a bunch of very much depreciated gear and gut wrenching sales numbers on it. Just hurts even thinking about it.
Just hope you all know I am working on it very hard to get a S2 in my hands and I will not be denied.

Guy, I fear once I hear your report on the S2 I'll be back buying lotto tickets.

Not a bad idea at all. Would that not be a hoot if we won it. This forum would go absolutely nuts. LOL

"If it gets up that high again we should pool our buying power." Great, that would up our chances of winning to one in a hundred million.

Did by no means want to offend you or anything else. Just I have a different opinion. Do also not want to proof any SW being better or not here in the forum. Just think this is a waste of time. So let's keep it like that - everybody stays with the products he/she prefers and can best afford and use for their work -OK?

Hope to get an S2 in October for some test shots, will see how it feels and how I like the IQ. Will also start playing then with LR again, maybe I will need itRaw processors seem to be more personal preferences than anything and it is what it is. The S2 comes with LR.

I am with Marc here, I think that if someone is willing to state very strong opinions about which software is better, they should be prepared to show the differences in crops, as well as post their RAW file for others to try. Failing this, they should express their opinions in much gentler terms...
Maybe we should have a friendly thread about Raw convertors of choice.
I use C1 and Like the LR set up but can't ever get the same IQ out of it compared to C1.
There are many people who use LR very successfully, so maybe I'm doing something wrong and would love to learn, or at least wrap my head around it better.

If someone wants to start it lets bring it over to the image processing forum so others can benefit as well. We tend to start these tests and it gets lost in a thread and it be nice if the whole forum could benefit.

Well I don't have time to do all these nice crops you all want, while I'm traveling and shooting 8 hours a day, but I will as soon as I find a peaceful moment. I will start a new topic, so that we won't get in the way of discussion S2 parts.

Posting my view here on some SW is my view and does of course not necessarily reflect what others might feel and observe. Everybody has different needs.
I for myself have worked pretty hard to get to the level where I am, for me this is ok in the moment and I actually cannot care less if someone thinks the same or different. Thus publishing any comparisons here is not my intention and also far above the time I want to spend. I am grateful for all others who take the burden to post whatever results they find interesting, but for the time being this is definitely not for me - I simply do not have the time to spend for this efforts.
So bottom line - who wants to read and think about my opinion and the results I achieved is of course welcome - otherwise I would not post here - but as I said I could not care less if someone thinks 180 degree different - good for them!
Hope this clarifies some issues
