......I feel like the technological progress is going almost too fast these days... not only cameras become obsolete much faster, but some cameras now become obsolete even before they hit the market (i.e., right after the announcement). Hmm.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=223432\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Read all about this surprising development:Leica S2 article[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=223398\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Leica's official site now has all the information so it's the real deal. No available date however!! Rumored price is 20K Euro for the body alone!!! Saw the pics at the intro but it was in a glass case. I would like to see what it looks like in someones hand. I suppose with all this interest in MF (Nikon is also supposed to introduce something) they are moving the dynamic in digital photography to the next level. With those suggested prices I'll be shooting MF film for a long, long time.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=223457\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

But how much better are they compared to Olympus equivalents?I bet they are not THAT good [Olympus lenses are one of the finest as far as optical results]
To be succesful Leica needs to put that camera into the hands of users. The only way to do that is to price it right. The right price should be around $8,000 . The lenses should be into the $2000-$2500 range for primes. if it turns out a lot more than that then sales volume will most likely be too low.
Primes only. I haven't read of any zooms for this camera.Which is certainly limiting.
There's a Vario-Elmar-S 30-90mm f/3.5 ASPHSource: http://dfarkas.blogspot.com/2008/09/leica-...ent-for-s2.html
This makes it interesting. Does it have AF? What's 30-90 in full frame?
