Well said, however ......

The major  market opportunity for these high end MF digital cameras is not
the pro.... it is the rich amateur.  There are a lot more rich amateurs then
there are pros with clients that want, and can use, the extra umph these
cameras can give, and have the cash to rent/buy/lease or steal one..

There, I said it......

The S2 is aimed at markets where the cost of the camera
is not a major factor in the cost of the shoot.
This is not a journalist's camera
(unless s/he's working in a unique slot - like Salgado)
The photographers using S2 like cameras
receive $2,500 - $5,000 per day.
as do the models, stylists, etc.
