Greetings,
Got my S2 today, and am testing Sigma's 75-750/4-6.3 effective lens.
This weekend I'm off to shoot some surfing.
Immediate impressions?
Lens.... very fast, quiet, not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. Can still hand-hold at 1/250th, but I'll be tripod'ing it mostly.
Versatility of this lens makes any drawbacks inconsequential. I'll have a better idea after the weekend, but I expect the lens will perform nicely.
Camera.... I've read that many reviews it seems second nature. Very easy to pick up and shoot, if you read the instruction manual. I feel extremely confident using the S2, and I've only had it 5 hours!

I'll update here from time to time my progress.

Second impressions........
Very easy to point and shoot, batteries last forever when conservative use of LCD. Lens is terrific, very few out of focus, used in Continuous focus mode.
