No offense to anyone intended, but this may be one of the funnier threads I've read in a while. Was sort of like: "Hi. Do you guys like Red or Blue better? Reds nice, but then so is Green. Ok. But how about Blue? Yea, Green. Blue? Green. But I really wanna know about Blue. Yup, Blue. ........ So how about that Green?!" :) This also may be the fastest thread I've seen for someone making up their mind. 6 hours between question and purchase. :) Not that it helps with the decision at this point, but if I had 10 Nikon lenses and it was good glass, I would not switch over to Canon. I've never been quite sure about the S2 Pro. The idea of interpolating the 6mp up to 12mp isn't something new, but doing that even for a 6mp shot (it interpolates 6mp to 12mp and then back down to 6mp for the final 6mp shot) always seemed weird to me. The image quality, however looked good (probably a little better than a D100, and a bit less than a 10D - more attributed to the 10Ds really low noise). From memory, when I was looking at the different cameras, a couple big strikes in my book towards it was that the S2 Pro could only do 2fps (at times I shoot fast moving things like dancers in close proximity and hydro races) and for some weird reason they didn't give it mirror lockup capability How do you charge that much for a camera and not give it MLU? Plus a few minor things like no portrait grip available, it uses 2 different types of batteries, viewfinder only shows like 92% of the frame, etc. -=>Donald
