Chuck, Nice of you to think about me.
I ‘ve seen it a few months ago; I have been waiting for this camera before I had seen the specs. Now I am a little disappointed despite the impressive specs as I had expected a more megapixel camera, about 10-15 real Mpx. I have seen the results of the extended exposure latitude on the 700: I am not that impressed. True, it is better than before, but not in a way that the S3 justifies the extra money.
I am eagerly waiting for the 2004 Photokina in Cologne in September. I still expect something else, either by Fuji or Nikon. If not, I will probably buy the new 14 mpx Kodak SLR/n. I love the ERI-JPEG idea, a RAW format in JPEG. That will save me quite some memory and, more important, writing time.
