Hi Bill,

Funny you should ask. :-) I was just at  a Leica demo day about a half hour 
ago here in Victoria and speaking with the Canadian Director of Marketing he 
had attended the New York trade show.

Leica had S2's there for promotion, no different than any other trade show. 
Many of the photographers attending took the S2 for a time try out. However 
he didn't say who they were shooting for.

Unless the pictures in the NY Times were close-up of cameras, it's tough to 
tell the difference between an S2 and an R8 unless you see them side by 
each. Even then they look very similar.

Given I played with an S2 earlier this week it didn't feel nor look much 
different than the many hundreds of times I've had R8 motor driven SLR's in 
my hands.
