A camera legend goes digital

It is the first digital camera to use the Leica viewfinder system. All the
key characteristics of the analog Leica reporter’s camera such as the compact
design, the exceptional picture quality in conjunction with the Leica M lenses
and the unique picture composition using the Leica viewfinder have been
seamlessly carried over into the digital world.
This
professional-standard digital camera “Made in Germany” uses an image sensor
specially developed for the requirements of the Leica M system. Almost all
Leica M system lenses made since 1954 are also suitable for digital
photography, thanks to their high performance level. The combination of
lenses, sensor and high-performance picture editing generates outstanding
picture quality with a resolution of 10.3 million pixels.

Creative freedom down to the details
The decision to buy a Leica nearly always marks the beginning of a lifelong
artistic relationship. Leica M cameras are the perfect example of virtually
unlimited creative freedom. Precision high-performance instruments whose
technical features concentrate on the essentials, giving serious photographers
the scope to experiment with many different visual forms of expression.

To give this quality an unmistakable, personal touch, Leica is now
offering you an ambitious unique modular system. |
The Leica ŕ la carte principle lets you configure your own Leica M camera,
which will then be produced just for you. You choose all of the individual
details that perfectly suit your functional, esthetic and practical
preferences, starting with the color of the camera top and type of leather
finish, following with different viewfinder frames and ending with personal
engravings such as signatures and markings which clearly prove that your Leica
is a unique item. Of course, this is only possible because each Leica is made
by hand in the traditional way practised in the factory in Solms.
