This direction makes a lot of sense for Leica (not being sarcastic). It's aimed at a market that is much less sensitive to price, where there's no immediate competition, where the alternatives above and below have significant disadvantages, and that values absolute quality.
As a layman, this sounds like a good move for the company.

Now they wan't to compete with hasselblad, phase one, etc.
What do they have? A far better quality of the lenses, a never seen low price tag for a medium format camera, the ultimate sensor? :bang:
Is this a real camera, or a medium format camera for collectors of leica equipment?

This is so ironic and hilarious - I can't stop laughing.
Leica sits on an egg for so long and finally the result is a SLR-like new system!
Too funny.

Is this for real or is this a joke? It is uglier than the R cameras by Leica.

From the magazine page which includes the picture above:
"From pros experience with Leica S2 prototype, we'd say it fits somewhere between Canon 5D and EOS 1Ds MkIII in terms of size..."

Leica has a long history of talking from its heinous.

This camera isn't aimed at the RFF market.

Cool, and they named it after a venerable Nikon rangefinder camera.

It's obvious where their investment dollars have been going. Even Leica is letting the M system suck hind tit.

Well, I'd rather have this camera than a mammoth Nikon D3 or Canon 1DMarkWhatever.
The price of this is going to be out of this world. The M8 is priced at the top DSRL level, so if Leica sees this as an upper level system than the digital M, expect to pay tons of $$$.
Anyway, I don't want a DSLR. I want a compact, small size, quality, FF camera that takes M lenses, as a lot of people here want, and this isn't it :-(.

This camera has been extrapolated on LUF for quite some time now... Even the name was known before. Now we are waiting for the R10 halfway next year....
