PMA 2009: Hands on with the 37-megapixel DSLR

PHOTOS: Leica S2 DSLR digital camera

5 March 2009 14:00 GMT / By Chris Hall

Announced back in September 2008, we've managed to track down the monster DSLR and grab a few snaps.

Why should you be excited? Well under that shell Leica has packed in a whopping 37-megapixel sensor, so essentially combines "the quality of medium format and the handling and flexibility of 35mm".

Claiming to be "the best professional camera system in the world". Leica seems to be super confident this model will deliver and has thrown down the gauntlet to Hasselblad, declaring that the S2 is "twice as fast as Hasselblad H-series cameras".

the downside is, however that it feels like it was a solid hunk of steel meaning we had to get someone else to hold it for us.

  • Look at that big fat glorious viewfinder! Posted by mrweatherbee, United States
  • Camera porn. A medium format digital camera in an ergonomic, efficient and sealed 35mm body using the best lenses in the world. Pure camera porn. Posted by RobVSF, United States
  • LEICA makes the best Cameras and Lenses in the world. They are pure, bold, Gestalt Minimalistic, crude, but when you become familiar with it,... it is like a Bow over the strings of the Stradivari violin Stroke by the Master. Hope that it has a Sapphire Glass over its LCD Window like one on the M8.2, and DMR/R8, R9.
    Wonder, what will be the looks of the upcoming R10?     Posted by Tomislav Stanich, USA
