I am a big time Leica Fan Boy and proud of it . Have used Leica s since the m2 was released NEW and have had every reflex body made by Leica . Currently use S,SL,M10,Q and wife uses CL . The question of this thread ...Is what does the new Panasonic S1R mean for a Leica user .
In two words... Higher MPs ! The ability to get 47+MP in a body similar to the Leica SL offers a phenomenal upgrade to an already excellent system . The L mount is open via well made Leica adapters to every lens made by Leica ....SL,S,M,R .
There are many new features in the S1R body ....some maybe exciting like the EVF which has even more resolution than the SL , or automatic pixel binning allowing the creation of almost 200MP files . Plenty of stuff for the video guys (not me ). But its the ability to get a new 47MP sensor that seems to be the attraction .
It seems to perfect like a prerelease of the Leica SL 2 for $3700.
