The superb quality and benefits of Leica M analog photography is now available in digital format. The Leica M8 10.3MP digital camera incorporates the rangefinder system with its advantages of discreet and quiet operation, speed and precision. Combine that with a simple and intuitive operation and you have a truly professional digital camera.
The Leica M8 incorporates a low-noise CCD image sensor with a resolution of 10.3-megapixels that has been specifically matched to the extreme requirements of high-resolution lenses to guarantee superior photographic quality. And it is fully compatible with nearly all M lenses, making their unique imaging performance available for digital cameras.
The controls and functions of the digital M8 concentrate on the essentials. All the main settings are made in clearly structured menus on the bright 2.5″ display. This allows professional photographers, and amateurs alike, to concentrate on taking pictures, not worry about the multifunction keys cluttering up the camera’s interface.
The modern metal-blade slotted shutter allows extremely fast flash synchronization times down to 1/250 second. The new M-TTL flash technology ensures natural flash illumination through the activation of a metering pre-flash. The auto slow sync function now allows available light exposures without camera shake in aperture priority mode. This virtually guarantees a crisp, clear photo every time.
The Leica M8 10.3MP digital rangefinder camera comes with a carrying strap with an anti-slip guard, a camera cover, a lithium ion battery, a charger with car and three mains plug adapters, a USB connecting lead, an operating manual, a software CD (Capture One LE), and a warranty card.
