S2 pro

[Eric Leong]

Hi,
just wondering is there any more new S2 out in the market & what's the cost?
Thinking of setting up a DSLR....not too ex. Advise appreciated.

Last I checked, three months ago, $2700 thereabout. Try Cathay, TK, MS or Alan.

Get a used one, price should be droping. As S3pro is coming and it about the same prices as S2pro new. People will want to up grade. S2 is stiil a great camera.

Last 'overheard' abt the price of S3 is abt $3.5K and up... Dun expect it to be in the $2k range or at least the same price as a S2 brand new...

S2 is a great cam and got to know from Fuji that you can upgrade your warrenty to 3 yrs. If anything bad (touch wood!) happens, they'll cover MOST of the repair costs. So it's still worth investing in a S2 pro.

However, if you dun mind the wait, D100 replacement could be a better choice??

yup, warranty for 3 years more, BUT have to pay $600 more.
so, it's $3000+ for new S2 with 3 years warranty.

Saw from CNET's ads that S3 Pro is launching @ Sitex, for a hair under S$4k.

hehe,,,be like me,,,,wait and see the fall of the s2 price second hand...then grab the cam...ahhaa..

[Eric Leong]

Thank you all for the good advise. I need a new S2 for my underwater work & S2 can sync with any UW strobe in the market. 2nd hand S2 life span might be almost there......if something wrong & need to pay more for repair or buy new I POKE MAN.

yup...there is this issue of sensor problems..... but i heard the s3 uses yet again a new kind of sensor.... tricky new technology.... no idea how good it is...

Thought I could have some 'hands-on' session at Sitex today but only to find out that there's no S3 Pro there....

What a wasted trip............
