# Ultra Megapixel Cameras The LEICA S2 DSLR Features a Whopping 37.5 Megapixels By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leicas-s2 References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/leica-s2-camera-system/12393/) & [s.leica-camera](http://www.s.leica-camera.com/) It seems that the capabilities of regular, everyday technology is becoming a little bit ridiculous -- in a good way, of course. After a year of waiting, LEICA is ready to release their new S2 Digital SLR in October. The LEICA S2 DSLR features an image capture area that is over 50% larger than regular 35mm film as well as a newly developed precision auto-focus system. What puts the icing on this cake is that it rocks 37.5 megapixels (I know, WOW). It’s a regular but sleek looking camera that is a desirable masterpiece. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High Megapixel Cameras:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing cameras with even higher megapixel capabilities. - **Larger Image Capture Area:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating cameras with even larger image capture areas for enhanced image quality. - **Precision Auto-focus Systems:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in improving auto-focus systems for more precise and efficient focusing. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Camera Manufacturing:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the camera manufacturing industry to develop and produce high megapixel cameras with larger image capture areas. - **Photography Equipment:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the photography equipment industry to create and sell accessories and tools specifically designed to support high megapixel cameras. - **Digital Imaging Software:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the digital imaging software industry to develop advanced algorithms and technologies to handle and process images from high megapixel cameras. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Triple Resolution Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m11.md) - [High-End Full-Frame Camera Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3.md) - [Precision Reporter-Grade Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-sl3-reporter.md) - [Ultra-High Res Mirrorless Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/x2d-100c.md) - [Highly Advanced Camera Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boundaries-of-imaging-technology.md) - [Rangefinder-Free Premium Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m-ev1.md) - [Compact Full-Frame Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-q3-43.md) - [Premium Camera-Equipped Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xiaomi-12s-series.md) - [Analogue-Like Digital Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m11d.md)
