Personally, I do not see where Leica
(S2) thinks they are going to get some market share?..

Frank - wasn't the S2 about the most disturbing
announcement from Leica in decades? Their new
direction with the S2 means that our long-hoped
for revolution in 35mm digital from Leica is
probably nowhere in the foreseeable future. Leica
could have given us the digital equivalent of the
M3 surprise of a a half-century ago. Instead
Leica has apparently spent untold millions of R&D
euros on a camera that relates to very few Leica
fans and is probably affordable to even fewer.
Along with them, my first reaction to the S2 was an incredulous, "WHAT!?"
If the stock market hadn't tanked, I would be
sorely tempted to buy a Leica S2 kit strictly for
the collector investment value, since it will be
probably be as rare as black M2's - about 1800
ever made: http://northcoastphotos.com/article1.html
