Hi All
Time for update..

I have had a further problem with the replaced…[Read more]

I may add that my batterie charger was broken, still didn't get any replacement.

And I also have…

I forgot to mention that these problems were not noticable at time of purchase and developed within days of use … apart from the Multigrip attachment which was only noticed after I received it through the post

Best of luck. I'd be happy to contact S2 product management on your behalf if you want to send me a PM or [EMAIL=david@dalephotoanddigital.com]email[/EMAIL] with your camera details (S/N, issues, service history, etc).

Many thanks David most helpful as usual.. I will contact you in due course…[Read more]

I have also replaced my other S2 with a microprism screen..no problems doing this..
however, does anyone know why there is a extra smaller tab on it compared to the other screens..probably a simple answer but I can't figure it out right now.

Hi Arif
is this just a single line at exactly the same position each time ??
it looks more like a fault with the Sensor if it is.. unlike a scratch which would be more prevalent the more you close the aperture on a lighter background.. I have not seen this before on a S2 but you need to have it checked out.. how old is the Body as a few…[Read more]

Update of Update
I have succeeded in updating the firmware by reloading everything and removing the multifunction Battery Grip beforehand.
I do not know if this Grip had anything to do with it or not but all is OK and I look forwards to a Merry Xmas, as I do to all the Members of this Forum.
good luck in 2012 as well.

Update
I now have both S2s back from Solms… each taking 8 days from collection to arrival at my excellent dealers Richard Caplan in St James's London.
both appear to function correctly but I have been left with a dread of changing the Batteries.. ha! ha!… only a joke… I hope ?
I was impressed with the priority service awarded to me and…[Read more]

Many thanks for all your answers.. very helpful as usual..glad that it is straightforward..
I will definitely wait for any Xmas ‘shakes' to subside before replacing the Screen.
……Seasons greetings to all and a great new year…..

I recently had my S2 Top LED upgraded and sent to Solms who removed the top AC Maxx protector without any issue so it seems they can be removed easily. The service from AC Maxx on ebay was very good as well.

I had mine replaced too and the AC…[Read more]

Hi Josh.. yes the batteries were physically stuck inside both the Body and the Grip but at different times.. returned to Solms under warranty.. it was a sudden occurrence both times with a battery change no problem for a few times then just no release with the button in the grip and the switch on the body. I have the Body with Solms just now and…[Read more]

I used the extreme pro 16 and it seems a lot slower in my S2 than 8s however although it previews in the S2 ok it shows as 0 kbs when using a lexar card reader to mac resulting in no files for downloading.. any ideas ???

Hi.. I had the same problem with S2 and could not figure it out.. however after several on off attempts I find that it works correctly all the time now. I wonder if there is a…[Read more]
