Leica S2: A $26,000 DLSR

This is one expensive camera.  Some specs include: 37.5 megapixels and 30 x 45 mm sensor built into a 35mm-sized body.  At $26,000, this camera sits at the top of the digital camera food chain.  That price only covers the body of the camera, mind you; a lens costs extra!  And believe it or not, this is the “low-end” version of the camera.  There will be another edition that includes a sapphire-glass LCD screen and “Platinum Service.”  These upgrades add another $5,100 to the total price.  What does a spare battery charger cost, you ask?  You guessed it, $425!  All you fervent digital camera aficionados, start salivating.  The Leica S2 releases this October.  Check out additional images of the S2 below.
