wattsy Posted April 26, 2012 Share #3 Posted April 26, 2012 This is the key lesson... ... for the M10 design as well... Maybe. The S2 is certainly elegant but, having never used one in anger, I can't comment on the utility of the 'soft buttons' interface. What I have used a lot, however, is the SF-58 flash and I find the soft buttons interface on that device a complete pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephan_w Posted April 30, 2012 Share #4 Posted April 30, 2012 wever, is the SF-58 flash and I find the soft buttons interface on that device a complete pain. I fully agree with that, the user interface of the SF58 is really outdated Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted April 30, 2012 Share #5 Posted April 30, 2012 Whilst its aesthetically pleasing to have as few buttons as possible, having instant and direct access to the important functions on that type of camera is more important. Not that I've ever used an S2! But for a large DSLR, I find the Nikon ergonomics brilliant. I prefer my M9 though, but that's a very different style of photography isn't it?

Not that I've ever used an S2! But for a large DSLR, I find the Nikon ergonomics brilliant. I prefer my M9 though, but that's a very different style of photography isn't it? I've been using the S2 for two months now and I can tell you the simplicity of the design and being able to program the 4 soft buttons with the 4 features I use most (mirror lock up, exposure compensation, bracketing and ISO changes) is great. While I still like my D3s, I do not use it for the slower type of shooting - mostly on a tripod - that I do with the S2. Both cameras are fine instruments for their specific kind of music.

Grummz Posted June 6, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 6, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use both an S2 and D3s, both for about 2 years. I can tell you that for me, using the S2 is simple and intuitive and easy to get to what I want to modify in the menus. The D3s buttons are nice, but its too much "finger memory" for when I'm switching between cameras, and the menus are ABYSMAL and too crammed to navigate. I find myself surprised at how often I come back to the S2 and everything just feels right. Of course, I also map some common functions to the soft buttons, like exposure compensation and ISO.
