			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><span style="color: #888888;">The Leica S2 is the first camera that offers 30×45mm sensor that’s 56% larger than full size 35mm. The Leica S2 also features a 37 mega pixels CCD sensor, “MAESTRO” image processor developed with Fujitsu, an advanced new dual shutter, with both an in-body focal plane shutter for fast lenses, and in-lens leaf shutters for high flash sync speeds.</span></h2>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3504" title="leica_s2" src="http://photoguru.com.au//wp-content/uploads/2009/11/leica_s2.jpg" alt="leica_s2" width="402" height="330" />luminous-landscape.com reviews the Leica S2 and writes:</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;There is an elegant simplicity to the S2&#8242;s body. The top panel has just a shutter speed dial, a shutter release and a small status LCD. Well, actually it&#8217;s an OLED, and is a remarkable bit of eye candy. It is the brightest and clearest screen that I&#8217;ve ever seen in medium to low light levels. Unfortunately in direct sunlight it washes out and becomes almost unreadable, forcing one to shade it with ones body or hand. Leica is aware of the issue and is looking at how it might be improved.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>juzaphoto reviews the Leica S2 and writes:</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;The Leica S2 is one of the most interesting cameras I have tried: it combines amazing image quality with a camera body much more responsive than the majority of medium format cameras. Its sensor is not as big as the sensor of the Hasselblad H4D, but it is way bigger than 35mm FF sensors; another nice thing about the Leica S2 sensor is that it has 3:2 ratio, instead of the 4:3 ratio of the majority of MF cameras (this is a matter of personal taste, for me the 3:2 ratio is more pleasing).&#8221;</em></p>

<p><strong>pdngearguide reviews the Leica S2 and writes:</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;As expected from most Leica products, the S2 is bank-vault solid. Built almost entirely of metal – with some exterior rubber as mentioned before – the S2 feels like it could handle a couple of significant drops and keep on clicking.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>photographyblog reviews the Leica S2 and writes:</strong><br />
<em>&#8220;The S2 definitely lives up to its DSLR-like billing though, being surprisingly light and portable, certainly no heavier or more cumbersome than a Nikon / Canon pro DSLR.&#8221;</em></p>
