The Leica RangefinderSystem Seeing the Bigger PictureLeica's unique M-System - whose name is based on the German term 'Messsucher', meaning rangefinder - has been making history for 65 years. The 'Messsucher' presents a bigger picture - a broader view of your subject - and opens up a whole new world of creative freedom: this enables the photographer to anticipate the way in which a composition might develop - and press the shutter at the decisive moment. Consequently, Leica M cameras are particularly suited to street and reportage photography. In addition, the rangefinder allows for a fast and precise focus, even in challenging lighting conditions.The Iconic M DesignVisual and Tactile PerfectionThe Leica M-E (Typ 240) is distinguished by a timelessly elegant aesthetic and high-end construction; each model is handcrafted in Germany. The compact camera body is dust and spray water resistant, while the genuine leather trim offers both a sophisticated appearance and a safer grip on the camera. Top and base plate are finished in an anthracite gray paint which has been developed especially for the M-E.24-Megapixel CMOS SensorImage Quality without CompromiseThe new Leica M-E ranks among the most compact full-frame camera systems in the world. Its 24MP CMOS sensor offers a high light sensitivity of up to ISO 6400 - facilitating outstanding image results even in low-light situations. Its 2GB buffer memory ensures that the Leica M-E is always ready to shoot, even when capturing a rapid succession of frames - so you can rest assured that you will never miss out on the decisive moment.Integrated Video FunctionLeica Look in Full-HDThanks to its exceedingly high resolution and light sensitivity, the Leica M-E delivers photographs imbued with the classic 'Leica look', characterized by a unique bokeh rendition. Owners of the new Leica M-E are also able to apply this distinctive quality to their moving images: the Leica M-E features a 1080p, full-HD movie mode - allowing you to capture stunning videos using a dedicated recording button, adding yet another dimension to your creative pursuits.

Had a M8 when they launched the digital platform was a great camera minus the issue with dark blacks turning purple. Sold it. Was waiting for something in the middle ground price for a Leica. I now can buy a lens and a camera body for under 5k.
