Wow. For only a $5000 premium I get a sapphire crystal and a loaner body plus a free shutter replacement? Not to mention - its a Leica!!

Kind of reminds me of a Franck Muller watch -)

I was surprised by the upper ISO of only 1250

And no LiveView. I mean with the best lenses in the world... and the best sensor in the world... you won't need it right?

And no pop-up flash, or scene modes... WTF?

Do you think it is possible to have 10% discount if we buy a second body as a backup?

Does it at least have AF fine tuning?

Cheers,

One would hope that QC is good enough that AF fine tuning is not needed.

All I can think is that those new lenses better be really good and I hope for them they can get the central shutter lenses with the higher sync speeds out quickly. I am however still bitter that they decided to go with the S system instead of an R10.

Only if you are the best photographer in the world.

In which case that person wouldn't need the S2?

Well, at the stage of being the best on the world, you have nothing to prove.
Why even bother of taking the picture.

I'll wait till they release the 18-200mm equivalent lens before I ring the bank manager, rob the bank, or sell my body to science. Sorry I forgot, the banks recently robbed us. Where's Ken's Leica S2 review? He is slipping in his old age.

I found the perfect laptop to tether your S2 to.
