As an enthusiast/amateur, that's about 10 times of what I shot with a film-camera...

That means 192 pix every day of the year....
Wow - when do you sleep?
I usually get through 150 shots on an 8 hour assignment - then there's my own stuff at weekends (evenings are spent getting the day's work to clients) - so I probably take around 42k per year. Film used to be around 50k per year, but digital means I save £15,000 every year even though I did my own processing & printing!)

that was from last weekend ... 3000 pics
around 1400 on the website
when I do a sports carneval I shoot around 3-4K a day
lots of series ...
eg. ralley australia last year
; http://www.perthdigital.com/ralaus_s1_2.html
6K images in 3 days .. was the first sports stuff
I have done with the S2 .. now in September
its on again .. this time I now the camera
even better and I tell you .. It will tick like a
clockwork
)
for me digital is a new media .. I never shot film
a lot .. hate it .. just boring stuff for me ...
have only done film for hobby ..
now I do commercial stuff for catalogues (own businesses)
built a studio and now start to do 3D object movies ...
I currently shoot jewellery 300 pieces .. I experiment a lot
so I end up shooting 300 images on a evening just experimenting
with light ...
A wedding shoot is 1200 - 1500 images with 600-800 ending
up on a slide show ... I have done a couple ..
so its not even that much in my opinion .. and I would
never compare it with film ...
When I reshoot one of our fashion catalogues for next year
I estimate around 5-6K images and thats 2-3 days with models
a bit more than I had last time 2 catalogues at 28 pages
150 different styles around 20-30 pics each and thats not
even a lot .. I expect 80-100 this year for the 3D ones ..
so it adds up ..) not counting the pics when I take the S2
out on a tour ...
Have fun

Hi,
Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it - but I need my sleep!
Maybe I should get stocked up on 'Pro-Plus' again...
At least you are testimony to the robustness of the S2. Why not get in touch with one of our photo mags as a long term test? Maybe Fuji will supply you with a new piece of kit? Then again - the cheapscates don't even supply the RAW EX software.... Ho Hum...

Me again,
Got to say your shots are great! Dis you use the S2 for the Rally Cars? I have a commission coming up to do similar shots in England (I bet the weather isn't as kind!)
Never had a problem when I shot with a Pentax SFX - just pre-focus and as soon as a car came into shot (focussed) the shutter would fire. Automatic or what? Doesn't seem to do that, the S2 so Iit looks as though I will have to work after all!

look at the ones down the hill into the water ...
Continuous focus .. 80-400 VR at 1/500
zoom while car comes down and take shots
at 1 - 2f/s .. sometimes i let it run .. sometimes
I take single shots .. the focus was ok ..
I also have side shots sort of ..
here the cars are much quicker out of view .. so
I prefocus (Single mode) ...
works ok ..
I still would like higher speed .. dont nee 8f/s
but 3-4 is fine ..
buffer write is a problem sometimes with 12MP jpeg
and especially RAW so I end up 6MP for fast stuff

Hi,
D2H has been announced at £2800 here in the UK with some stores taking orders for October!
I'm going to write to Santa....
Meanwhile I'll try your 6Mp suggestion to improve write-speeds.
Thanks,
Kevin
