Leica S replacement at Photokina

[anGy]

New S at B&H:

Leica Leica S Medium Format DSLR Camera (Typ 007) 10804 B&H

37.5 MP Cmos 45x30 mm sensor.
Iso 200 to 6400
125s longest exposure
3.5 fps

Looks like a minimal CCD to Cmos transition.

Did you see the "new" Leica S-E? Why do Leica insist on "uglifying" their lower tier cameras? Why green with a silver shutter dial? I'm reaching for a spew bucket!

On reflection of the new Phase announcements, the Leica offerings are positively perfect.

Shame the 4K video isn't off the full sensor.

That would have been a game changer.

Based on B&H the Leica S-E is the current S-006 with the same design

BTW, the new S looks different from the - old - pics on B&H.

Yes, odd looking shutter dial eh?

 

[peterv]

Indeed, but I like the minimalistic approach. The less clutter on the body, the better for me. Keeps my eyes relaxed

S-E rhymes with Ugggggly. Still USB-2

S Type 007 @ $26K body only … expected. At least it is USB-3. IQ will be the determining factor. Don't care about video.

My S2P is feeling very secure right now

I'll put any budget into lenses.

37.5mp is disappointing.. But higher ISO,wifi and live View with 3.5fps are nice..

USB 3 is welcome but a max shutter speed of 125sec from CMOS seems ridiculous.

I'll be keeping my 006

I hard core want a 006 now.

Always strange that you have to go to a different website than Leica's to get specifications on a camera, why don't they ever put those up in a normal way. It's okay that you don't want to put the megapixel count in the little stories, but it should be on there somewhere.

You can download the technical data on the Leica official website.
They contain all needed tech details.

What do you need more pixels for?

Why?

Why?

Larger printing and the lenses can handle it would be my guess...

 

[.:Aleph:.]

How big a print can Leica handle and how big a print do you need?

 

[RVB]

Peter Karbe said the Lenses can resolve 2um sensors,so they are a long way from being tested by this sensor.

I was hoping to see the 5.3um pixel used in Sony's new Exmor sensor which would have given close to 50mp!

I guess they use the exact same CMOS sensor technology down to the pixel level as in the Leica M. Multiplying 24 megapixels with the larger image area you end up with 37.5 megapixels. So if interested in raw sensor performance per pixel it's probably identical to that of the Leica M.

Making a smaller pixel usually means a whole new manufacturing process so it's a much bigger deal. Going to as small pixels as Sony's sensor would probably also make it more evident than Sony still is in a class of their own concerning raw sensor performance.
