All;
An interesting thought. I had a S1, and now a S2- I plan to upgrade again when the next generation Fuji comes out- tho I plan to keep my S2. I will not sell this camera.
I have a lot of the lenses that all you folks have- the 70-200 VR, 28-70 f2.8, and even the 24-120 VR.- I have found that the S2 is oh-so fussy about the lens you use to get the sharpest pictures. (that last comment is kinda off topic)
Here is my thought this morn.... I take my S2 everywhere, and often I get the same reaction where ever I go- People are scared and put off by the size of the thing. It has the heft and size of pro equipment and quite frankly scares people.- I have resorted to taking instead my wife's Cannon G2 to wedding receptions and such as I blend in better that way and do not call attention to myself... but I miss the shots that I might have gotten if I had the S2.- (don't like the quality of the G2 very much)
Also, I read with interest a thread in the Nikon forum yesterday about a guy that was not allowed to bring his DX1 into a pro sporting event because it had the look of pro equipment and was distracting to fans and people- I can understand that- people look at you when you carry an S2 around- especially with the 70-200vr attached!. (yeow!)
Question- If I were to buy a camera to carry to public events and weddings and such, which cameras do you guys use that yield great pictures?
My thoughts are that it should be- non-detachable lens, at least 5x zoom optical, 4-5 Mpix, and of course fuji-like quality pictures.
What is the best consumer camera out there now? Nikon 5700? Fuji camera?- which one? I was wondering what you guys like for a backup quality point and shoot that you carry around and are very satisfied with the quality of prints?

John
