Advertisement Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Hi rollsman4, Take a look here Leica S006 Vs S-E Body. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Before you make your purchase e-mail: customer.care@leica-camera.com quoting the serial number and they can tell you whether it's had a new sensor fitted. They usually reply within 2-3 days. You can ask in English and they reply in English.   Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither camera is missing GPS. The functional differences between the two cameras were the original warranty, and included accessories. The 006 came with a long USB cable for tethering. None of this matters now, unless you need the USB cable. Make sure you get a camera with a replaced sensor, or a generous discount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollsman4 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share #5  Posted November 13, 2022 Thank you for assisting me with this.  My thoughts are to get the S007 and feel comfortable and not worry about the Sensor problem. TY Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jip Posted November 13, 2022 Share #7  Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) The only difference between S006 and S-E 006 is what comes in the box and the colour. There is no difference technically. Both have GPS. Since I saw you state differently, that is not true. I have S-E006 and S006 Both can have a corroding sensor. You need to ask Leica if the sensor is replaced or not. The S-E comes without a tethering cable. That's all. Edited November 13, 2022 by jip Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted November 13, 2022 Share #8 Â Posted November 13, 2022 It happens so that I wrote an article about what to look out for when buying S2/S006/S-E006 in 2022:https://jipvankuijk.nl/leica-s-e-typ-006-seven-years-later/ 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am better off buying in the USA. Less expensive. Thank you  Hi Jip, I did read your article and VERY helpful. What I have to do before buying one ( S006 ) Is get the Ser # from the seller and contact leica to see if the sensor was changed and if it was done after 2017. If before that year it would have been replaced with the Old sensor.  I will keep looking. My first choice is the S006 or S-E as I like the CCD sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a nice, new SE ar red Dot Camera's British site. Edited November 16, 2022 by Pieter12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollsman4 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share #11  Posted November 17, 2022 I got lucky and found the S007 and a S 70mm for a great deal at Camera west. Thank you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
