Peter you need to join the Forbes list :salute:Hmm that means only 30 lenses and 4 MF camera bodies and two digi backs to sell.:ROTFL::ROTFL:

Can I ask the resident slut what stuff bugs you about the S2? I'm really happy with my equipment too and my only temptation currently is the P40+ for its high iso performance, so we're kind of in the same boat. I'm also looking at the S2 but the lack of a 45mm or 55mm lens is potentially a deal breaker for me, I have no interest in a zoom lens.The only thing I would buy right this second if I had the money in my hand would be a P40+. Other than that I am really just looking at the S2 for the moment just to see how good it may be. But I am at least 6 months from thinking about buying and that is thinking on the S2 some stuff bugs me on it. Otherwise I am pretty damn happy and I have not said that very often. My system just works and I like it.
Being a gear slut is just like being married the day I stop looking at the pretty girls go by than just open the casket and toss me in.
Would never ever buy a Sinar / Hy6 System today with the knowledge we all currently have about their future. Would be the same as quickly buying a DMR and R System from the scratch after they said it is discontinued.The only thing I would buy right this second if I had the money in my hand would be a P40+.

I am a perfect testament to what a person shouldn't do regarding gear purchase. For a small fee ( free lens thrown in as well ) I will be happy to send you a 20 page essay on the lessons I have learned and the money I have burned on my way to enlightenment! :ROTFL::ROTFL:Peter you need to join the Forbes list :salute:
Great question actually 3:2 framing is one of them .I really like 4:3Can I ask the resident slut what stuff bugs you about the S2?

hmm, never thought about this one, that means I need yet another matte size, not good.Great question actually 3:2 framing is one of them .I really like 4:3
My experience with every digital device has proven that one gets best results from dedicated software rather than generic processors, even as good as they've become. I'm still on the fence regarding dng.Not to get into the big debate but C1 is certainly my preferred processor
Does that mean compromised high iso?Pixel binning is not coming out on release
You have that in PSLost control for corrections , Even though they say they don't need it . I want distortion control for barrel
Nothing to worry about with a 2nd body ,Obviously lost able to switch backs for shooting , repair and such
Its the same with Leaf files, I use PS for conversion when I want to add noise to the files, I'm not kidding!The other thing here related to dedicated software is I know my Phase files and other files for that matter are better on noise than any other program I tried. I can count on this. The S2 we will have to see but again it would be Lightroom and from the past it did not do so well on noise but we have to wait to see how the S2 does
I have yet to see an image of any camera that is "very useable" at the highest ISO. Maybe the P21+... it's somehow "nice" at highest ISO... but far from "very usable" except if it's for a special grainy (indeed "filmlike") look (but you need to do carefull processing).Given that both P30+ and S2 are similarly sized Kodak sensors with microlenses, and that the S2's sensor is significantly newer, it is quite possible that it will outperform the P30+ ISO for ISO. This would mean that ISO 1250 might actually be very useable.
so ISO960 thenThere won't be an ISO 800
in the quoted link David states about moire:
well, the P40+/P65+ with the same pixelpitch (but without microlenses) produce moire. I can not imagine that the S2 will not produce moire... I wonder where and how they "really, really tried" it.According to Leica, they haven't been able to produce moire in DNGs under any circumstance.... and they've really, really tried.
