For the cost-is-no-object photography crowd, Leica is the be all and end all. Now they've delved into the professional field of digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras with its new S-System. Packed inside a body smaller than most SLRs is a 37.5 million pixel sensor that measures 30x45mm – more than 50% bigger than the industry standard. The camera body alone costs a whopping $34,000 NZD – and as any serious photographer will tell you, that doesn't even include a lens. Those start at around seven grand, while the cheapest accessory in the catalog is the $600 charger. But it is a Leica afterall!
