Leica presented its S2 autofocus DSLR system at the Photokina - Built around a 30x45 mm sensor, with 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. The new Maestro image processing system provides twice the operating speed of current medium-format backs, significantly reduced power consumption, and allows production of in-camera JPEGs. Leica has also developed a range of nine new lenses, including macro, ultra-wideangle, and tilt-and-shift designs.

To quote from the official press text: "Phase One and Leica Camera AG in alliance. The objective is to offer innovative high-end solutions that guarantee the greatest possible creative freedom and set standards in terms of performance, quality and technological maturity."
