Anyway, the Leica sensor (by Kodak or whoever) has different demand than Nikon, Canon or Sony sensors (oblique microlens and absolutely best in class image performance etc.) The S2 sensor don't even go up to ISO 1200 without a fight so there is no hope there. If Leica gets a high ISO sensor in 2 years, that'd be great. I sort of doubt it though. We shall see, 2 years will be here soon enough.
