As already mentioned, the Image Quality of the S2 is proving to be a bit better...
Yer right about the D100 having Adobe RGB option for jpeg mode.
Flash sync is not quite that easy. you have to keep in mind that the S2 has ISO 100 at 1/125th. The D100 is 1/180th at ISO 200. No longer an advantage for the D100 (see
http://www.bythom.com/s2d100.htm)
As for the Frames per Second, the D100 shoots 'Up to' 3fps, depending on condition and mode this will drop. The S2 shoots a guarantee'd 2fps. FPS should not be the only measure though, what about buffer. In JPG mode both camera's will shoot 7 frames into the buffer, however if you shoot RAW (or TIFF) the D100 drops to 4 (or is it 3?) frames in the buffer, the S2 will still get 7 shots.
Yes the D100 has more White balance settings and you need to use them. The Auto White balance of the S2 is very very accurate, not need for so many options.
Cannot argue the 1/2 Step EV as compared to the 1/3 step EV for the D100. If you need 1/3 step then it may point you in a direction, however I think most people will be just fine with the 1/2 step. As a note if you do shoot raw you get 1/3 steps in your conversion.
No mirror lockup on the S2.. This maybe important to you and your type of photography. Most the time a few bean bags will absorb any vibrations..
Did I mention that the S2 has better images and more resolution out of Camera ;-)
Anyways.. They are both great camara's. The features are a wash. With some +'s and -'s for both. Image quality sold me...

d100 has more white balance settings
EV 0.5 step compared to 0.3
no mirror lock up
Thanks
