Tried out the Nikon D800E vs the Leica S at the shop this morning. There is really no appreciable difference in the quality of the images and the high ISO performance of the Nikon is poles above the Leica which starts to deteriorate beyond ISO200.
I'm getting the Nikon and saving myself more than $35,000 as I already have a full range of Nikon lenses. All I need is the 800E body.
If I go with the Leica, I'll need to start a lens collection of horrendously expensive Leica glass. It's worth every penny in terms of quality but much of what I take would not justify the purchase.
