If you’re as big a fan of Leica cameras as us, you’ve been expecting this upcoming release of the S2 DSLR. What you might not big a fan of is the price tag 0f approximately $23,000, and that’s just for the body. Set to drop in October, the camera is pretty impressive; a 37.5 megapixel, 30x45mm sensor, a sapphire glass monitor screen and ‘Platinum Service’ support package (you will have to fork out another 5k for that though). Advertising and fashion photographer Robert Grischek recently put the S-system to the test in the studio, and though you wouldn’t expect him to blast it (it is up on Leica’s site), you can’t help but agree with a professional’s opinion. The camera is smaller than its high-end competitors, allowing for easy maneuverability and the quality of the picture, well, it reflects the price tag. You can’t help but love what Leica has been doing as of late, constantly innovating and releasing top-notch cameras.
The entire S range, including a full lineup of lenses, accessories and price points can be viewed here.
