RE: Need advice on new camera.

Robert, I think your comments and recommendation are good regarding the
camera, but I wouldn't be too quick to abandon the IR ML-L3 remote. For
panos, I think it works quite well. I have my 303SPH setup to ensure the IR
port of the camera is on the down side of vertical and simply point at the
camera and shoot. It isn't inconvenient as I have to be behind the camera to
turn to the next shooting point anyway. Also, no cables to get tangled nor
is it an expensive investment, around $20. I do think that Nikon could have
done a better job placing the sensor (or another sensor) in the back of the
camera. FWIW.
Warm Regards,
Wayne Degner

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.
