I'm looking to go SLR digital and have been doing a lot of reading
lately. I have narrowed my search to the Nikon D100 which has a release
date of mid July and the new Fuji S2 Pro which is to be released in
August. These would both fit nicely as I have all the latest Nikkor
glass. Both camera specs look good but from pictures off Japanese web
sites it looks like the Fuji is better in picture quality. I also noted
that the Fuji uses their proprietary super CCD, which is much smaller in
size than the Nikon CCD, and there was a lot of discussion as to the way
Fuji specified their CCDs. Any comments would be appreciated. Sorry for
being so off topic but I have a lot of faith in the minds residing here.


And then there's the Sigma coming in the fall with the new Faveon chip.
Decisions decisions.

Thank you,
Sam Krneta
