Hmm. So does that make the Leica S2 <genuflect> the "four-thirds of medium format"?
I'd still _very_ much like one.

P.S. Here's a song about genuflecting:

Photokina 2008: Leica has today unveiled a brand new autofocus DSLR system
designed for professional users, which is configured around a 30x45mm
sensor (i.e. 56% larger than 35mm full-frame).

24x36 was miniature - the smallest medium format I know of was rollfilm at
60x45 (645)

so the 30x45 is only 1/2 the size of the smallest medium format.
