Description:
|
The Leica M8 Interchangeable Lens Rangefinder Digital Camera not only looks like an M model, it faithfully embodies all the advantages of the analog Leica M system to provide sophisticated and creative digital photography. It is the only professional digital camera to use the beneficial rangefinder system, which is discreet, quiet, fast and accurate, and the uncompromising quality criteria of the M system have been applied.
The Leica M8 provides full compatibility with almost all M lenses, and the low-noise CCD image sensor with a resolution of 10.3 million pixels has been specially integrated into the compact lens design, ensuring optimum picture quality. The operation and functionality of the digital M concentrate on what is essential, while useful additional functions provided by digital technology complement the proven M concept. The Leica M8 is a timeless digital camera that is excitingly new and yet comfortingly familiar.

It's a camera that rangefinders either love or hate. Those that love it find its so convenient because they can see the product of their effort almost immediately. But the purists will always argue that rangefinder should stick to film.
The colours are faithful and true. Though there's the issue of "red cast" in the pictures with the first issue of this model, Leica has since addressed that with a firmware update and special filter. This camera is able to use almost all the Leica M lenses and the Leica lenses though expensive are superb.
It's heavy but looks indiscreet and ideal for street shoot.
