Product Description
Developed exclusively for digital photography without any compromises. With the size and handling of a 35 mm camera, its performance and quality set new standards for medium-format photography. The complete Leica S-System was developed together with professional photographers with the goal of offering high quality pictures and effortless operation and handling. The entire system is based on a totally new image sensor in Leica S-Format, 30 x 45 mm in size and the classic Leica aspect ration of 3 to 2. The large area and integrated design afford optimal picture quality. With 37.5 million pixels, cropping is never a problem, even for large-format prints. The camera is the perfect instrument the photographer can now focus on taking pictures rather than on the technology. The LEICA S2 components are the very best quality and finely tuned to one another, producing the perfect picture that is naturally sharp and does not require digital correction.

I've gotten a chance to test this camera next to my Canon 1DS MkIII. The Leica comes out the winner with superb picture quality. The sharpness is incredible and the colors are pure and clean even in mixed lighting. There are a few areas where the Leica cant compete. One, obviously is price. Two, the camera doesn't have high ISO capability. ISO 640 is about where it starts to get noisy in the shadows. Last, while it does have auto focus, it's no match for a 35mm Canon or Nikon. It doesn't have the array of focus sensors. It does have a build quality that is unrivaled and the whole camera and lenses are remarkably well sealed from dust and moisture. It feels great in your hands. It really is a medium format digital masquerading as a 35 mm.

A friend of mine lend me this camera and used it for few times and I can say it is what it is. The price says what it is, it's expensive but the quality is absolutely remarkable. The weight is evenly distributed, the lens captures what almost as you see with your own eyes [or better]. The resolution is exceptionally out of this world. I used to have a Leica Film Camera and I felt in love with photography the first time I had it as a gift from my mom when I was 13 years old. It is incredibly well built, the controls are easy, the menus are well arranged and well thought. If you have the cash, I would not hesitate to buy this piece. It will not disappoint you. Believe me.

I played with this super camera for a while. It is absolutely outstanding. Image and build qualities are on top. Battery life is also great. About 800 images (or more).
The only concern is the price of this tool. Yes, it's amazing, but still, everything has it's price, and if you ask me, it is well overpriced.
If I had to decide, I would rather buy Sony a99 which has all features of modern cameras, while price tag is almost 8 times lower.
