S2 Pro has multi-exposure mode while D100 hasn't.
S2 Pro has a function for the user to clean the CCD, while D100 hasn't.
S2 Pro has iso100 while D100 starts from iso200.
S2 Pro has USB and firewire for speedy transfer while D100 has only USB.
May be there are more.

Well, just to spice things up a little...
D100 has optional vertical grip (S2 hasn't)
D100 has flash-sync of 1/180 (S2 has 1/125)
D100 has 1 lithium pack for power (S2 has 3 types of batteries, 2 of which cannot be rechargable (lithium for flash, button-type for retaining data))
Maybe there are more.
(Both have the same AF-system, the same lens-specs, similar body, ...)

What do you mean by this ?
(if it is just a mirror-flip up, than the D100 can do it when connected to an AC-adapter)

Correct.
Wrong. The D100 has a mirror lock-up function for cleaning. Fuji endorses using Sensor Swabs, Nikon doesn't.
Correct, though the D100 has more ability to set intermediary settings.
Correct.
Yes, there are, see the article on my Web site, which I'll be updating later today.
True. And it supplies two things the S2 already has: AA battery ability and voice annotation.Well, just to spice things up a little...

Well, as I noted on the Fuji SLR forum, this is a bit misleading, especially if you're using flash for fill outdoors. At their lowest ISO values, the S2 can actually shoot at a wider aperture than the D100 when maxed out at flash sync shutter speed. There's a possibility that the S2 syncs at 1/180 through the PC Sync socket, though that detail won't surface until the camera actually appears for sale.
Wrong. The S2 has two types of batteries, and can run on only AA if necessary. As for the CR123A batteries used for the internal flash, there is one rechargeable alternative that has appeared in the UK recently, but, as I noted, you don't need those batteries (as long as you don't use the internal flash).
Sure is, and one is a biggie: the Fuji uses Nikon's standard flash methodology (TTL with any TTL Speedlight, just like the 35mm bodies) and the D100 can only TTL with a DX flash.

Does this mean you can start talking about what you know about the S2 or is this still "publicly available information"?

Whoops, sorry, I got confused with the S1 (which has the button-battery).
Do you have a link for that rechargable alternative for the CR123A ?

so you're saying my SB28 (not DX version) would work in TTL with the S2? That's a MAJOR plus for the S2 then. I wonder how Fuji does what Nikon didn't seem to be able to do. Would Fuji's TTL use the info from D-lenses as well or they're implementing basic TTL only?
I found a link...Whoops, sorry, I got confused with the S1 (which has the

I don't want anything too bland but...Well, just to spice things up a little...
Thats right. Yet some of the functions that come only with this option on the D100 are standard on the S2
The ISO 100 helps compensate. I believe that the 1/125 limits is imposed by the Nikon dedicated flashes but attainable otherwise. I have not experimented with that.
There's no button battery apparently and data is retained for 6 months even if all the batteries have been removed after 2 days of use (page 24 of the user manual). The use of lithium for flash, aperture, mirror, shutter is a bit of a pain granted.
The S2 is slightly more expensive since it can only be bought as a kit anymore, which include the 16-bits software though.
What about speed? how many images can you shoot before the buffer fills up; how quickly can you shoot in succession

What would the price difference be if you sold your SB-28 and bought an SB-80DX? You'd gain more than just compatibility, and I'd think the price wouldn't be much compared with the price of either of these bodies. For that matter, SB-28DXs are probably going pretty cheap now that the SB-80DX is out.
Yes, I got it confused with the S1... (see the other thread, Thom comments on this, as well as on the flash-subject).

We know that the D100 can not meter with manual lenses. (non chip)
What about the S2 Pro?

Hi Tom,
Re:
"Sure is, and one is a biggie: the Fuji uses Nikon's standard flash methodology (TTL with any TTL Speedlight, just like the 35mm
bodies) and the D100 can only TTL with a DX flash."
This is a little misleading. The Nikon D100 supports 5 segment D-TTL (TTL for digital SLR), whereas the Fuji S2 only supports regular 35mm type of TTL.
Since the S2 is not a regular 35mm camera, the TTL flash technology is not as advanced as the D-TTL the D100 offers with a Nikon DX dedicated flash.
i.e D100 flash technology is better than S2, and it would definately be worth investing in a DX flash if you buy a D100.
