Leica S System S2 Digital SLR Announced

Leica have announced a new S-System S2 Digital SLR, a completely new system with 9 new lenses, a 37.5 megapixel sensor that is 60% larger than a 35mm full frame sensor, while still remaining the same size as other digital SLRs. More details can be found at BJP Online and David Farkas' Blog (via TOP):

"Leica has once again revolutionized the world of photography with a digital S-System that's perfect for professional use. The Leica S2, with its premium AF objectives including everything from ultra wide to super telephoto, is an absolute photographic highlight. The digital SLR camera has a special new sensor with 30 x 45 mm and 37.5 megapixels. The S2's metal body is appreciably smaller and easier to carry than similar models from other camera brands, and yet it's also nearly twice as fast thanks to ultra modern processor technology."
