Leica has officially announced the pricing and the launch date for its S-System camera. This camera is said to be one of the most significant developments of the digital era.
Leica has also affirmed that it will introduce a series of specialized camera lens and service packages to go along with the S-System. The details of the lens and services will be released soon.
Jon Sareen, UK commercial manager, Leica S-System, commented, “The eagerly-anticipated Leica S-System is a very new and different challenge for Leica Camera Ltd, in comparison to other products in our range. We have engaged new experts, and arrangements regarding leasing and rental facilities are well under way. Service and support will be very hot topics for Leica S-System users, and we can confirm that we are planning a rapid third party UK solution, to work in conjunction with our head office in Germany.â€
The Leica S-System system redefines the professional DSLR cameras. It includes a custom 37.5 megapixel, 30mm x 45mm sensor into a 35mm sized body. This system was first glimpsed at the Photokina in September last year.
The Leica S-System cameras will be made available in UK, this October. The cameras will be made available for a starting price of £15,996 (approx. Rs. 7,73,485).
