If you like your images big and shiny, we’ve got something for you. Leica has announced a brand new autofocus DSLR system that has a 30×45mm sensor. That is approximately 56% larger than the current 35mm full frame sensor.
The Leica S-2, has a weatherproof, average SLR-sized body with a 37.5 megapixel CCD sensor. Accompanying the new body will be nine new lenses, consisting of 24mm ultrawide, 30mm tilt-and-shift, 35mm wide, 70mm standard, 30-90mm standard zoom, 100mm short tele, 120mm macro, 180mm telephoto, and 350mm telephoto optics (all of which will apparently incorporate leaf shutters). The resulting picture will be in the 3:2 aspect ratio.
The S-System will use an advanced new dual shutter, with an in-body focal plane shutter for fast lenses and in-lens leaf shutters for high flash sync speed.
There is no info about the price, but since it’s Leica, we can expect premium price that may a little beyond our budget.
