Maybe I'm skewed as well: I never shoot reportage or sport. My stuff is editorial and commercial, mostly film though I'll be interested to see how my S2 does for commercial clients. I got the S2 with stock principally in mind - one agency requires file submission in RAW format anyway, and as for the others it seems to make more sense to shoot in RAW for max file info then manipulate afterwards, apart from the fact that RAW files occupy less space initially than the full-size TIFF option. I'm not at all interested in shooting anything as "lossy" as JPEGs, and only use this mode for quick test-shots when setting something up. BTW, looking forward greatly to what I hope will be Adobe support for Fuji .RAF files (really cheesed off with the slow & cumbersome Fuji LE software) or alternatively MacBibble. I don't know if the new software will allow me to fiddle with RAW files then re-save in RAW format - maybe this is a nonsensical idea, not at all possible, but it's what I'd like.
