Leica has announced a new medium-format DSLR camera and lens system, the Leica S2. The S2 uses Kodak's 37.5MP CCD sensor with a 3:2 aspect ratio. The sensor measures 30x45mm--56 percent larger than a 35mm full-frame sensor, which measures 27x36mm, and smaller than ...

Leica has announced the 37.5 megapixel CCD sensor autofocus S2 DSLR designed for professional photographers. The new S2 is centered around a 30×45mm sensor which is 56% larger than 35mm full-frame. The S-system utilizes a new dual shutter with an in-body focal plane shutter for fast lenses and in-lens leaf shutters for high flash sync speeds. The S-2 features a weatherproof body similar to 35mm type DSLRs. Maestro, the image image processing system yields twice the operating speed of current medium-format backs, reduced power consumption, and allows creation of in-camera JPEGs.

September 23, 2008: LEICA S2 – Remarkable new camera from Germany redefines the professional DSLR class with a custom 37.5-megapixel, 30 x 45 mm sensor built into a 35mm-sized body.

Some companies tweak the features. At Leica, we transform the concept. That’s why the introduction of the flagship Leica S2 is not merely an incremental advance. It is nothing less than a watershed event that sets an entirely new performance standard for professional digital SLRS.

Photokina 2008: Kodak has designed a new line of advanced CCD image sensors to power the latest medium format DSLRs, including the Leica S2, Sinar HY6-65 and Hasselblad H3DII-50. The Leica S2 features the KAF-37500 37.5MP sensor with an imaging area of 45mm x 30mm, bringing in a completely new format; interestingly it also includes a novel slimline infrared filter, which we'd guess could eventually find its way into a future Leica M sensor. The Sinar Hy6-65 sports the KAF-31600 34.6MP sensor wit

Leica announces the revolutionary digital S-System for professional use.

Leica’s New Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 - World’s Fastest Lens If you love shooting shallow depth-of-field photos or shooting in near darkness, then you are no doubt excited about Leica’s latest 50mm lens. The Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 lens has no equal - at least not right now. Canon made a Leica rangefinder-compatible f/0.95 50mm lens in the early 60’s (CANON 50mm f/0.95). Those lenses now sell for quite a bit on the used market. Leica also makes a 50mm f/1.0 Noctilux lens. Very impressive - b

Core77 mentioned the impending arrival of the new Leica D-LUX 4 as reported at Digital Photography Review.

The wide maximum aperture gives extremely shallow depth of field and very low-light capability. Priced at £6290 it will be made available in February 2009.

If anyone doubted that Leica has fully embraced the digital world, think again. The successor to the M8 rangefinder is named with a software-like point update: M8.2. This is, of course, because the original M8 was a beta release in everything but name. The biggest news about the 8.2: It gets a full auto-mode. Ridiculous as this seems in 2008, the M series has never had a full program exposure mode. Like any other full-auto mode, the camera selects aperture, shutter speed, ISO and white balan
