I finally had a chance to hold the present Leica S when in New York. I was very impressed with the feel of the camera. It just felt nice compared to my H-blad which I have had for some time, and my new Sony a7ll . It felt like a substantial work tool. Where as the Sony a7ll feels totally unsubstantial. That is why it is only my carry around in the street toy camera. Especially when the electronic viewfinder shows so much distracting moire as the Sony a7 does. Why does no one mention that distracting shit? Seriously?
To some people with a commercial workflow the most pixels is not everything. If I was processing out 16 bit PSD files from the 50mp back rather than my 39mp back I would be delivering 300GB of files to clients for post rather than 150GB. The computer hard drive storage requirements can be a huge hinderance. This has to be seriously considered. Have you not seen pics of Cooter's hard drive storage room? Especially when for advertising purposes we are generally not delivering files larger than 11x 14" at 300dpi.
If I was shooting people I would seriously buy one of the Leica S series cameras over Phase or Blad because the body and one's glass of choice are so nice. Could probably also get a CCD version and a CMOS version for the cost of just 1 of the top end Phase or Blad options.
So the Leica S cameras may not suit everyone such as you Voidshatter, but to others it is a great tool that has a great feel with it's own amazing glass, or can run Hasselblad & Contax glass.
