Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro

I got bitten by the digital bug when I bought a Fuji Finepix S602. I had been using Nikon film SLRs for the past twenty years or so. Suddenly I stopped using film and used my S602 almost exclusively. However, I really missed the interchangeable lens facilities that my Nikon film SLRs provided.
Then I found out that Fuji were offering what was essentially a digital Nikon F80, their S2 Pro. I use Nikon F80s for film, so it seemed a good idea to use one for digital too. So I bought the Fuji Finepix S2 Pro.
The camers has been used virtually daily since I bought it last October (2003). I cannot fault the Nikon functionality, and the marriage to Fuji's Pro quality CCD is a marriage made in heaven.
The 6mp output produces artefact free images which will easily blow up to A2. The camera has Jpeg, Gif and RAW modes for image capture, I use RAW because they are more suitable for manipulation in Photoshop and incredibly sharp!
The camera weighs nearly as much as a Nikon F4, so its a heavy beast, but very stable in the hand and with heavy tele and zoom lenses.
This camera has a lens magnification factor of 1.5, thus if you have a 100mm lens you use on your standard Nikon film SLR, you will get a focal length of 150mm when using the same lens on the S2 Pro. This is a great advantage on one hand and a disadvantage on the other. The advantage is, your lenses get more reach, use a 70 to 300mm Nikon lens for example and it becomes a 105 to 450mm lens (very powerful).
The downside to this is the fact that Wideangles dont behave quite so wide, ie a 28mm Wide angle becomes a 42mm lens - not good, but you can buy ultrawide zooms especially for digital use ( Sigma have a 12-24mm which yields 18mm to 36 on teh S2 Pro), but such lenses tend to be expensive at this time (around £500)
