That's not a fair test, given the disparity in the market value of the two 
cameras.  It's like saying, "Here are two checks, one for $125 and one for 
$4,000 (or whatever an S-1 goes for).  Assuming both checks are good, which 
one would you want?"  I'd take the S-1 any day.  I can always pick up a 
Realist for less than I'd have to pay for the S-1.
