Comments about Leica Leica M8 0.68 Digital Rangefinder Camera Body, 10.3mp with 0.68 Viewfinder Magnification, Black:

Leica engineers have developed a ranger finder digital camera that is in a class all by it’s self. You can use most M lens, Leica and other manufactures. The results are amazing. This is truly a digital camera that keeps the picture taker in control of the camera and not the camera in control of the picture taker. If you enjoy using a very simple professional digital camera, this is the camera for you. The feel of the camera in your hands, the artistic possibilities and the fun factor of the M8 makes it a world class camera.

Comments about Leica Leica M8 0.68 Digital Rangefinder Camera Body, 10.3mp with 0.68 Viewfinder Magnification, Black:

There is too much to say about this! This camera produces the best images I have ever seen from a digital camera, even with my Voigtlander lenses. Wonderful camera, once you know its rangefinder limitations- it is not a P&S nor a DSLR. The flash system leaves a lot to be desired however, and I use a Metz to compensate for the weak Leica 24D flash. It lives for wide angle photography, as do all rangefinders. I really enjoy photography with this camera, unlike any of my other ones. If you can afford it, go for it.
