Darrin,

Would a thick skinned, chain smoking Finnish woman do? BTW you are
borderning on being rather non PC (politically correct!) here, they call
themselves *Firefighters* and  *Innuit* these days... Not starting platform
wars, its ok, people with dirty macs are often not pretty, young or female.

Meanwhile,
Richard asking about the S2

>Fuji states that the noise at 1600 is dramatically reduced, compared to
other cameras, so can any body tell me, >what's it like please? I would be
prepared to accept a quality equal to traditional 35mm (800 neg @ plus 1 or
neopan 1600).

My (young, hansome and male) assistant shot with his new S2 for me during a
wedding a few weeks ago. It was a late evening wedding and he used the 1600
setting for torch lit procession, chrurch flowers with candels and such
like. The results were excellent, far better than shots from my Olympus E10.
They were EVEN more useful AFTER he remembered to hit the SAVE button!

I would say the quality is better than I used to get during a similar
wedding with a Nikon on tripod and 800asa film in it. My assistant shot
hand-held with no camera shake!

Hope this helps,

Liisa

PS. Shangara, keep us informed on how you did it in photoshop please.
