Leica M8 Review
, Posted in
Breaking completely new ground, the LEICA M8 doesn't only look like an M - it utilizes all the benefits of the analog Leica M system for sophisticated and creative digital photography. The low-noise CCD image sensor with a resolution of 10.3 megapixels has been specifically matched to the compact lens design to guarantee superlative photographic quality.
MSRP: $5495.00
The Leica M8 digital rangefinder body continues the look and feel of the legendary M-series 35mm rangefinder cameras. The M8 has the same rounded contours and satin chrome or black finish as Leica's M7 film camera. It also shares the same rangefinder focusing system. Imaging is handled by a large 10.3-megapixel Kodak CCD sensor. It accommodates all M-mount interchangeable lenses from Leica, Zeiss, and Voigtlander. The M8 automatically provides noise reduction for long exposures, has a high ISO 2500 setting at full resolution, a fast 1/250 second flash synch speed, and an all-metal focal plane shutter with a shutter speed range from 4 seconds to 1/8000 of a second.
