Leica S2 ultimate DSLR?

At around £19,000 and 37.5 megapixels are there any DF'ers lucky enough to have ever used one never mind own one?

It's only as good as the person behind it but I wouldn't mind one

I read a review and looked at example shots and its very good, but its not really a workhorse of a camera like a 1D, probably the ultimate studio camera but not one you'd want to be using in the mosh pit.

Disagree.

I know fook all about photography and my photos definitely look noticeably better when I point and shoot on the 5dmkii rather than my panasonic pocket cam.

Only 37.5 megapixels ?
My Hasselblad H4D-60 pisses on it....(the "my" bit is a lie of course)

Isn't that a medium format camera though?

Don't forget Quidco when you order.

I'm presuming for the price of it that they throw the 2 munters in to unwrap it for you too??
