I'm gonna get the Ike alumin backed one. More so because I already own 2 x DS125's, and with a dual sync cord I can have TTl straight from the housing, or chuck my manual Dv controllers between the housing and strobes and go manual. I have the benefit of not having to pay VAT too - Jersey being a tax haven and all that, and Park took the vat off for me too which is why is was £875.
In reality, is anyone going to really see a whole much difference between 6.1 Mill pixels and 11, unless you are printing at poster size? The time is nearing where the whole pixel count will level off, there will just be no justification for a higher count, let alone the whole storage problem. The S2 already interpolates to 12 million, and for my use that's more than enough for me!
P.s. Has anyone checked out UK priced lenses against U.S. ones? I bought my first two lenses - GBP394 incl postage from the U.S. - cheapest uk price was £782!!! Someone is having a laugh!!
