What would you like to know?

For years I just shot with my OM1n and an old Argus. Then I got an F80 and loved it (so I have lenses). The S2 is an F80 re-worked. I chose the S2
over the D100 because it has a much better interface.  It also is much
better out of the box. With very young kids at home I do not have the time
to "post-process" everything.  I had the D100 for a weekend and had to
adjust all my shots. Prints are superb from the S2 and I can use all my
lenses.  Raw shooting is ok (I use Bibble).

This is not to say I am not interested in Oly, but an interchangeable
Olympus system is silly for me (I will then have to get another set of
lenses). Now, if an E30 with a fixed 28-200 2.8 lens comes then, well maybe
;0).

I had wanted a superb upgrade from my 2100UZ, which I still have. IMHO no consumer digital camera can though the 2100UZ (still!!!). Did you want any
specific info on the S2?

I was mostly interested in your subjective impression, both on image quality and ease of use. The CCD design is certainly interesting and does very well in comparison testing.
