Bingo. The kind of pro this camera is so obviously aimed at doesn't hang around here. There are a few on LL, and there are many more who just don't hang around photo forums, or at least don't post. High-flying fashion photography matches this camera to a T and I wouldn't be surprised to see the S2 quasi-take over this market in a year or two, unless some of the other manufacturers respond in kind. These high-end pros don't need to worry about the money, they will worry about the feature-set and the service, and if it is right, they will order two and half the lens lineup in one go.I imagine Leica simply want to make money, and will be happy to sell their camera to whoever will buy it. As Dale said, they only need a few professionals for credibility. Mind you, if it's as good as it might be, then I would have thought there will be professionals who can and will afford the price of entry.
For a landscape photographer, the S2 would be kinda nice, but not really necessary. A high-end fashion photographer would probably look at this camera and go "finally!". As long as it works well, and the service is good.
