“The Leica S5 concept is a technical and stylish evolution to its predecessor the S2. A reduced form factor accentuates the optical connection between body and lens. The objective was to design a body which emits harmony – underlining the technological advances of the S- System.”

I need to get my hands on a Leica, they keep making cameras that are sexy and very functional. My homie Jarrett is telling me to get the Ricoh…but I don’t know, this one is looking kind of dope.

“The specs are pretty high-up but a little wishful thinking doesn’t hurt. The Leica S5 carries a GPS and image stabilizer onboard, which make the camera suitable for sport- action photo sessions. An integrated WLAN connection makes computer tethering less of a headache. An additional feature is the ability to make HD- short movies, one we see many of the top-tier digital SLRs are throwing in.”

Technical specifications:

Effective pixels 50 Megapixels
Sensitivity ISO 100- 3200
Storage media SD, Compact Flash
Monitor 3-inch, 950 000 pixels
Flash shoe-mount flash
Image stabilizer yes
Live-View yes
GPS receiver yes
Interface USB 2.0, HDMI, WLAN
