Ian,
I agree with you about travel and the S1. I used to go on vacation with
my Pentax 6x7 for scenics and my Olympus OM2 for slides. Not to mention
the digital camcorder. Now I often just pack the S1 and its three
lenses and flash in a tiny little aluminum case and go. For vacation
pictures that are rarely bigger than 5x7, that's all I need.
