>>and that some S2's seem to have had some sharpness issues<< I'd like to jump in and say that I was one of the guys griping about sharpness in the beginning but I've completely come around. While some people may have had bad cameras, I just needed to get used to the auto-focus system which is considerably different from the S1. I now make sure to tap the shutter release 3 or 4 times (with the focusing spot over the desired focus area) to let the lens really get a good chance to nail the focus. I hardly ever have any complaints about sharpness these days. When it's really in focus, the sharpness is beyond anything I had hoped for with this camera. 30x40 inch prints look like medium format easily. Double page magazine spreads (11x17 inches) are easy.

Go for it Red, If you cant stump up nearly double for the D1x or the new kodak.... One guy here does some stuff at weekends (mad eh?) has had the S1 for over a year and thought it was pretty good until he got his S2 he's very pleased and thats after using a 3020 all day, just be aware that some lenses are just not suitable for digital cameras (there is a website somewhere where some guy has tested ALL the available lenses) and that some S2's seem to have had some sharpness issues, so test it and if it aint up to scratch throw it back at them. I'm sure that plenty of listees would do an image quality appraisal for you. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
