In terms of an SLR, the S is the best camera I've ever had the pleasure of using. My all time favourite camera (other than technical cameras) is the Mamiya 7, and the S is the only thing I've used that I'd seriously consider using instead for the kind of work I used the Mamiya for – save for the 3:2 format, which I'm not fond of. I had every intention actually to buy an S006 and demoed one twice, thinking I'd get a split prism screen with markings for 4x5 format. Anyway, long story short, I ended up getting a Leaf Credo 60 to use on a Techno as I can't live without in camera movements. When I saw that the 006 was selling for $6KUSD recently, I nearly fell off my chair. For those that appreciate what it offers, it was an absolute steal. I hope this new price for a new 007 is a sign of things to come for the system. Keep the body priced relatively fairly, and charge more for the lenses.
