Some a little bigger some a little smaller. And these cameras, full frame dslrs' are being used all day every day outside by photojournalists. As well as every other type of photographer you can name - full frame DSLR's rule right now much more so than SLR's ruled in the 90''s because people use DSLR's to do what 645's did before as well as Hasselblads. Its just that medium format digital really is a whole lot better. And an S2 is a medium format camera disguised as a regular full frame DSLR from sunny Germany. To imply its design makes it of limited use is not realistic. This camera is imminently usable for most of just about anything. Take one to the bottom of the ocean. Yes with a little bit of luck a camera configured more like an M9 will be put more in the running. And I'd assume soon. If not I'm sure we'll be running out of all the nice stuff we've been saying about Leica's new savior and boss. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Bruce Slomovitz <bruceslomovitz at comcast.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2012 01:31:41 +0000 (UTC) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] S2 > > I saw and held an S2 in 2010 when I attended a workshop on using the M9.? > It's a huge beast and (in my humble opinion) is not really useful as > anything > but a studio camera.?
