But it is smaller than most 35 
DSLR's:  http://www.dpreview.com/news/0809/08092301_leica_s2.asp

"With a custom 37.5-megapixel, 30 x 45 mm sensor that is 56% larger 
than full frame, it establishes parameters of imaging excellence that 
are well beyond those obtainable by conventional pro-caliber 
DSLRs.... Remarkably, all of this has been incorporated into a camera 
that is smaller than a full-size professional 35mm SLR, and still has 
the unmistakable look and feel of a Leica."

It all sounds too good to be true, but they haven't announced the 
price yet.  I'll probably stick to my rangefinders. I do intend to 
upgrade at least one of them, eventually.  I hope to get out of the 
cycle of having to buy a new digital camera every year or so!
