Digital cameras capture water (on image) poorly?

Nah, you're thinking of the SuperCCD SR, which the S2 doesn't have.
"SuperCCD" basically means that the sensors are positioned in a
different array configuration to get more resolution in certain
cases. Only the SR, as in the Fuji S3, has dual photodiodes to allow
recording at two different sensitivities.

Thanks for the correction.

Actually, it all looks murky.
If you stretch contrast, it blows out the highlights,
but no more so than with film...

Most print film actually can record a huge amount of highlight detail,
though it's usually only visible with a scanner, not in prints.

Very true, but there are some low contrast papers that
take advantage of the wide range. Some of the Agfa papers come out really
well. Bob Hickey www.pbase.com/bobhickey/galleries
