Leica officially announced their digital S-System,  a 37.5 megapixel DSLR designed for the high end professional. The Leica S2, will offer 9 high quality lenses from ultra wide to super telephoto. The digital SLR camera has a special new 30 x 45 mm sensor. 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 Leica's new processor technology.

With the S2, Leica has created an entirely new class of camera – technically innovative but incredibly flexible.
