Ciao sidrx
La S2 e' un'ottima macchina, la uso come secondo corpo al fianco della S5 e soprattutto per la fotografia all'infrarosso........
Da un'occhiata alla recensione che aveva fatto a suo tempo dpreview..... http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujis2pro/
un'altra recensione ben fatta e' sul sito di Thom Hogan....... http://www.bythom.com/fujis2.htm
La S2 (come la Nikon F80/N80 da cui deriva) supporta tutte le lenti AF con attacco Nikon F. Per quanto riguarda le lenti AI-S, ovvero quelle manuali, si puo' scattare solo in modalita' M (l'esposimetro interno non funziona quindi ne serve uno tradizionale). Con lenti di terze parti (quelle che non hanno attacco AI-S), ovvero Tamron, Sigma, Tonika, ecc. le devi provare sulla macchina prima di acquistarle perche' potrebbero avere alcuni problemi di funzionamento o proprio non funzionare..............
Questo e' il verdetto che aveva dato dpreview........

Conclusion - Pros
* The new resolution leader for six megapixel D-SLR's (SuperCCD performs well)
* Good colour and tonal balance, good dynamic range
* Very low image noise even at high sensitivities (new noise reduction system)
* Superb Nikon 3D matrix metering
* More robust body (thanks to the use of the F80/N80)
* Body bigger than D100 yet still feels compact and comfortable in your hand
* Good design points, the rear panel is useful for quickly changing settings
* Good range of ISO sensitivities, would have been nice to have 1/2 EV increments
* Control over image processing (color, tone, sharpening), more steps would be nice
* Fast operation, instant power up and no delays in menus or playback
* Excellent auto focus, works well even in low light, AF assist lamp
* RAW mode option, although included Converter LE is very basic
* Full Nikon F mount lens compatible (better with D and G type lenses)
* IBM Microdrive compatible
* Grid lines in viewfinder display
* Top panel LCD illuminated
* Custom functions to control camera operation
* Firewire (IEEE 1394) connectivity
* High speed CF interface (>1.5 MB/sec)
* Built-in PC Sync terminal
* Good battery life despite the dual battery setup
* Good value for money
Conclusion - Cons
* Still some slight moiré visible on diagonal detail, more so with 12 mp images
* 1/2 EV steps for exposure selection / compensation
* Adobe RGB color space not selectable for in-camera JPEG (only for RAW)
* Two different types of battery required, slightly clumsy AA battery tray
* Camera system still in 'two halves' (photo / digital)
* No mirror lock-up / anti-vibration mode
* No histogram / highlight indicator in record Postview
* Limited continuous shooting capability (2 fps, max 8 frames)
* Poor protective LCD cover
* Plastic (non rubberized) hand grip
* Supplied RAW File Converter LE has no features
* RAW File Converter EX offers limited functionality
* Slow RAW conversion (30 secs per image on a decent desktop PC)
* Awkward ISO selection on mode dial
* No portrait grip option
* Viewfinder view is smaller than 'higher end' D-SLR's
Overall conclusion
Once more Fujifilm's D-SLR turns out to be the dark horse of the D-SLR race. The S2 Pro goes a long way to satisfying Fujifilm's claims about SuperCCD, although it's my opinion that the SuperCCD design works far better in a D-SLR (large sensor size) than a consumer camera. The S2 Pro delivers great results from the word go, you have the 6.1 mp resolution mode for the majority of shots and the larger 12 mp mode when you need a big image straight from the camera for big prints.
In the 6.1 mp mode the S2 Pro delivers crisp, clean and detailed images which look great at 100%, anything that looks good at 100% will print well. The fact that the camera always generates the 12 mp image from the honeycomb SuperCCD and then down-samples appears to be the key to image sharpness. In addition to this Fujifilm's progressive noise reduction system keeps noise low even at higher sensitivities.
Color is of course very good, although it's disappointing not to be able to get Adobe RGB color space JPEG's straight out of the camera. I was also disappointed with the bundled RAW Converter LE and thought that the additional cost RAW Converter EX wasn't worth the money (although without it you'll be hunting for third party solutions). Other annoyances include 1/2 EV steps for exposure compensation or shutter speed / aperture selection and the fact that the camera is still electrically 'two halves' requiring two different types of battery.
Positive physical assets include Firewire (IEEE 1394) connectivity and a PC Sync socket, the later of which will go down very well with studio photographers. The S2 Pro has pluses and minuses, but I'm glad to report that the major plus is its image quality, and after all that's what matters at the end of the day. Despite its slightly higher price the S2 Pro still offers great value for money.

Drawbacks
*
It's not a D1. If you need fast flash sync, fast motor drive, brick-like durability, or a larger buffer size, a D1h or D1x is what you want.
*
Battery madness. The dual-battery nature of the S2 is a bit of a drag. Yes, you can operate the camera from Nimh AA's only. But if you do, you lose use of the internal flash. If you add CR123s in the grip to power the flash, you have to watch carefully for the point where the CR123s no longer power the camera--the battery displays aren't unequivocal in telling you when they are exhausted.
*
Manual lenses don't meter. AI and AI-S lenses and accessories can only be used in Manual exposure mode, and the meter is inoperative.
* Minor quibbles abound. 1/2 stop exposure setting, TTL flash only up to ISO 400, restricted ISO values, not enough white balance settings, poor histogram implementation, cheap color LCD protector, no switchable NTSC/PAL output for those of us who travel, and questionable quality control come to mind.
* Shot review issues. In the preferred Postview mode, the image flashes on the screen for only a second or two, then disappears while it is being written to the card, only to reappear again. An amateurish implementation, at best. And the critical histogram information can't be distinguished due to the width and color of the histogram box. One only has to compare Nikon's clear histogram view against Fujifilm's smaller, unclear view to understand the difference. (Fujifilm does get a bonus point for allowing us to look at individual channels, but that bonus point doesn't go far when you can't always tell whether the highlight is blown out or you're looking at the right-hand edge of the box. Tsk, tsk.)
* Software immaturity and design. Finepix Viewer is adequate, but not particularly well featured. The Raw interpreters are slow and somewhat crude compared to, say, Nikon Capture (though they do a fine job of interpolating raw images). In particular, the inability to pick a file name and location for saving is a big, big liability. Tethered camera control is also a bit immature compared to the competitors. And all of the supplied software could use a better grounding in Mac and Windows interface standards.
Positives
While I wouldn't take my drawbacks lightly, they are minor compared to the pluses. The S2 takes beautiful, color-saturated photos and when used correctly can give any digital SLR on the market (as of August 2003) a run for the money. Yes, that means the Canon 1Ds and Kodak Pro 14n, as well. The S2 Pro loses a small bit in the resolution race, but not nearly as much as you might think. We may quibble about slight differences in color, or noise, or aliasing between these the 1Ds, Pro 14n, and S2 Pro, but these discussions are not a lot different than the Provia versus Ektachrome type of debate we used to have with film. In short, expect to produce darn good results out of this camera.
* State-of-the-art image quality. Yes, I'm sure there are cameras with more resolution headed our way. But until they arrive, the S2 Pro can give anything on the market a run for the money. If you shoot JPEGs and need to avoid post-production workflow, I'm confident that the S2 is the best choice currently available, though you need to watch for moiré. If you shoot raw formats, the S2 Pro holds its own with the D100 and D1x, though the Fujifilm software is a bit more ragged than Nikon Capture. Indeed, the S2 holds up just as well against the Kodak Pro 14n and Canon 1Ds, both full-frame, high-resolution digital bodies.
* Built-in film stocks. The color controls on the Fujifilm give you the option of shooting with very saturated color (ala Velvia), slightly exaggerated color (Provia), or neutral color (Aptia). While Nikon's models also give you color control, they do so in a graphic artist type of way (changing hue through the color wheel), Fujifilm's design gives you more of what you're probably looking for. If you want to make reds and greens pop, you can press a button on the S2 Pro and get it.
* Well sized, very comfortable, fast in operation. The S2 Pro is a bit bigger than the D100, but it's easier to hold steady with one hand due to the plastic molding on the right side of the camera back. And the four-button control center lets you change (and lock!) the digital controls very, very rapidly.
* The return of Nikon's normal TTL. Since the S2 Pro measures TTL flash during exposure, the results are generally more reliable than those on a D1 or D100. Moreover, wireless flash works with Standard TTL!
* Custom Settings done the right way. Nikon, are you listening? This is the way custom settings should be implemented. Fast. Consistent with the rest of the interface design. Plenty of words to indicate what you're setting.
* Easier to clean CCD. Not only does Fujifilm endorse use of the Sensor Swab method of cleaning, but the CCD isn't buried inside a restrictive bracket like the Nikon models are. That means you can actually get a swab off the CCD area and don't leave little dust bunnies on the frame edge, as sometimes happens with a D1 or D100.
