Hi to all fujifilm user.
I just bought a old S2 body from B&S,it takes quite a while
to consider to buy or not cos i'm currently using my D200
since i take up seriously into photograhy as my hobby.
But after seeing some good comments on this forums i decided to try,
NO REGRAT! Is slower yes, but i feel more relax when taking picture
with this one.picture colour really beautiful.

Cheers to all fujifilm user & hope learn from u guys in future.

Tks rgds,

nik34...

I am sure even if it's abit long in the tooth, it can still produce beautiful results in good hands

Just send my S2 to fuji service center to remove some dust spot on the ccd
& normal cleaning job,it cost me $102 wow! costly men.
i try blowing menthol but just cannot remove so got no choice, can someone
here provide me some tips to cut down maintaining cost in future & tks in advance.

The S2 Pro is a well-known dust magnet. All I can say is develop good habits such as:

• Frequent cleaning of lens mount with good lens tissue and a few drops of Eclipse solution.
• Blowing the mounting area before attaching your lenses.
• Turn off your camera while changing lens.
• Try not to change lens in a dusty environment.
• Keep your camera and lenses in a dry box or dry cabinet when not in use.
• When using a zoom lens, zoom in and out slowly. Zoom lenses, especially push-pull ones, suck dust like a vacuum cleaner.

You are most welcome.

Congratulations! You are now a proud owner of the 'most colorful' DSLR ever produced. I sold mine last year and I truly regret it.

Oh yes! When i show it to my friends they said "old camera lei"
& when i show the picture they just
can imagine those day when u guys holding this masterpiece is
as proud as D300 or D3 right.
For me i had to pratice more with it cos bought it without a english manual
but ok is quite straight forward & user frenly.

cheers,

TIPS: The S2 Pro is a bit noisy if you shoot at ISO 400 and above. I suggest using Noise Ninja and download the noise profile for S2 Pro. Apply it to your images and you will get noise quality close to that of a S5 Pro at ISO 200.

By the way, the colors from D3 and D300 still looks ugly to me (no offense to Nikon DSLR 'purists').
