I have a Fuji S2Pro, great camera but very old by todays Digi Camera
standards. If you need to shoot teathered then the S2 would be a good
choice but if you are doing normal shooting (panos) I would go for the
Nikon D70, much less noise and very light. The Nikon is less expensive,
you can get the D70 for under $1000US by shopping. The S2 is still over
$2000US. The only problem with the D70 is remote shutter release, it
uses IR which isn't so hot but you can get a wired remote port
installed by Habourtronics for around $200US that allows you to use a
simple wired remote that costs around $20.
