Can't say I understood Mark's problem but as far as I can tell, all the
medium chipped DSLR's have about the same sized viewfinder image and I can't
see how the others can auto focus in dim light while the S2 can't. Do the
D60 and the D100 use a different system to find the focus point in dim
light? My understanding is they use the same system as the S2, which fires a
focus assist light to illuminate the subject.

Mark, under what circumstances exactly can't you put the S2 on manual focus?
Prewarned is prearmed, as they say. I had to look twice for the M setting
for manual focus as, for some weird reason, Fuji decided not to etch it in
white. The Nikon body that Fuji use is a bit dated whereas the D100 body is
much nicer to look at from the front and also has the M, S, C markings
clearly visible.
