Leica S2 prototype shown at PhotoPlus Expo

The PDN Pulse has a great video interview with Leica from PhotoExpo Expo. A Leica S2 prototype camera is shown, sitting on top of a glass case.

When asked about pricing, the Leica representative said it's too early for that, but expect it to be priced like a "medium format back". And with good reason, a year is an eternity in the world of digital cameras. The estimated delivery date is summer of 2009. The long wait continues for the S2 fan club :) For the complete video interview, please check the PDN Pulse blog.

And this camera is alive! As you can see at the 1 minute and 14 second mark in the video, the camera has an active LCD display! See the screen-shot from the video right below:
