Ha ha. Trigonometry indeed.Holy trigonometry, batman!
Very cool concept.
Can I trade-in my Z4 for one of these plus a scooter? :ROTFL:

Oh, I don't think I'd say that. For many people, the form factor of the S2 is alluring. Replaces most DSLR needs, and creeps up into MFD resolution ... then there are the lenses which will account for a lot.Amazing, the S2 is obsolete before its even out the door! Now I really wonder how they're going to compete against this 50mp package without either dropping their pants or coming up with a 50mp S3 fast; either way S2 is off my shopping list now...
I agree with you regarding the form factor and the lenses (which are incomplete for now), that's why I was interested and there's always the allure of the red dot. But this is still MF, the rules of engagement are very different to a forgiving and flexible 35mm dslr. Even forgetting about the AF technology for now, a 50mp system at the price of a P25+ of a year ago, well...Oh, I don't think I'd say that. For many people, the form factor of the S2 is alluring.

But anyone that uses MFD knows the AF issues quite well, and this is useful technology born directly from that philosophy of integration Hassey has taken a beating for in the past. So it seems like something Leica could implement in the S2 also.
I'd imagine the accuracy and precision of both the sensing and the actuating components is going to have to be pretty extreme to make this work well. But it doesn't have to be perfect to have value - only to be noticeably better than existing approaches to that particular problem. Here's hoping...Interesting, but you are still at the mercy of the accuracy of the AF system.
