Leica is well known in the photography world. Even the average consumer has probably noticed that Panasonic uses their glass for their lenses. Don’t let the fact that it looks like it was built in 1950 fool you. This is not an old, out-dated camera. Some of its features include:
• 10.3 megapixel CCD sensor
• Simple and Intuitive Controls
• Bright 2.5 inch LCD Display

Features:   Excellent

The 10.3 megapixel CCD sensor is just the right size to ensure speed and accuracy in your photos. The Leica M8 uses 6 bit coding to reduce the amount of noise in your photographs. The images are captured in the raw (DNG) format for the best possible results.
Most of the features of the M8 are intuitive and straight forward. Nothing is worse than trying to find a feature that is buried beneath layers of menu pages. All the main settings are in clearly structured menus on the 2.5 inch LCD display.
Images are easy to see on the bright 2.5 inch LCD display. Aside from display only the essential menu information, the LCD display also allows you to see bright and vivid detail in your photos, making it easy to decide which ones are keepers and which ones are do overs.
 

Future Proof:   Excellent

Perhaps its traditional styling is a testament to its ability to withstand the test of time. Its design aside, the advanced features of the M8 ensure that this camera should be around for a long time.

Value:   Excellent

With an MSRP of $4,000 the M8 is built for those who take their photography seriously. If its predecessors are any indication, the M8 is built to last. And who knows, maybe its retro looks will one day be in style again.

Style:   Excellent

If you are looking for a camera to make you stand out, you don’t have to look much further than the Leica M8. Its looks are certainly unique and are sure to draw a few second glances from your peers.

Summary:  

Combining unique, retro styling, the Leica M8 packs quite a bunch under its unassuming exterior. It has a style uniquely its own, just like you.
