Richard Seymour, British industry and architecture photographer, was one of the first to try out the new Leica S (Typ 007). He went to Leica Camera AG's headquarters at Leitz-Park to test the camera out. In this video, he talks about his photographic approach to shooting architecture, the focus on modernity in his work and why the Leica S-System works for him.

Announced nearly a year ago the Leica S (Type 007) medium format camera is finally set to arrive in September of this year (next month). Granted, the original plans called for a "Spring 2015" release - so technically it's only half a year late. In terms of digital camera lifespan, that's not a short amount of time... Read more below!

Resource Magazine asks "With the Pentax 645Z and the upcoming Leica S Type 007, it appears that whether there is a demand for it or not, medium format video is going to be an option. The thing is, does it even make sense?"

While not so much a "new" camera, Leica today at Photokina 2014 has announced a refresh and renaming of the current Leica S (Type 006) camera, now called the Leica S-E (Type 006). It offers an ideal entry-level model for Leica S medium-format system. The camera provides practically all technical advantages of the Leica S (Type 006) and presents an attractive alternative within the Leica S-System. The new colour scheme, with a top deck in anthracite grey paint and a silver anodised shutter speed dial, adds even more to its attraction. Read more below for details!

Today at Photokina 2014, Leica has announced the new top model of the Leica S-System - the Leica S (Type 007). As a logical development of its predecessors, the new Leica S features a multitude of radically new components. Amongst the most remarkable innovations in the Leica S are the new Leica CMOS sensor and Maestro II image processor. Thanks to these, it has been possible to enormously increase the speed and versatility of the S-System and raise it to a level that was previously unheard of in the medium-format segment. With a burst frequency of up to 3.5 frames per second, full-HD video in full-frame medium-format sensor size and 4K video recording, fast Live View mode and exceptional imaging quality at all ISO settings, the Leica S (Type 007) once again documents its status as the benchmark in the medium-format segment. The 2 GB buffer memory ensures smooth shooting of rapid sequences and, despite its more than doubled burst rate capability, the new focal plane shutter in the camera offers a further significantly increased service life of at least 150,000 cycles.
