Hasselblad is certainly taking aim at the S2....  With a sensor about 5%
bigger, 31MP, and including a lens, the new offering could cause Leica a
problem.....

http://www.hasselbladusa.com/products/h-system/h4d-31.aspx  $14,000 with
lens.

In the end, this may become a battle of optics and price point.  Hasselblad,
with Japanese optics  gets the pros and the less than rich amateurs and
Leica with German optics gets the really rich amateurs.

Maybe that's what Leica want anyway.....?
