I start to dream about a digital SLR ... like everybody I am reading/comparing d60/s2/s100.
I actually had some questions ....
Q1)In addition to the 1.3 or 1.6x factor to the focal range .. is there any change in the aperture ?
Not sure the question is relevant but if you have like a 1.8 50mm, do you get a 1.8 80mm ?
Q2)An other question is ,on my s30, when I am at 80mm equivalent, the aperture is 4. Does it mean that with a 1.8/50 becoming a 1.8/80, I would be able to take at 100ISO the shot I am taking at 400ISO on the s30(meaning I would get the same speed) ?
Q3) How nice/painfull is it to do manual focus on a digital slr ? Let's say if I can find a fast 1.4/50mm , used, that would not do the autofocus, is it something to consider ?
Q4) I do not have any lens right now, should I consider globally than, except the qualities I would like in the body, bying a canon or a nikon is roughly equivalent as they are both good in lenses, I guess same range of prices (not sure ?) ?
Q5) read the the D60 shutter lag is 1/10 s when the focus is done, is that correct ? I guess s2 and d100 would be the same. Would that mean that, if I am doing manual focusing and press the trigger, the shot would be done 1/10 s later ?
I read the forum, looks like John is thinking about the S2, is there people considering buying a digital SLR in a near/medium future ?

PS : bunch of question uh ? (that does not count as an additional one ;-) )
