Leica digital M8

September 15, 2006

Leica produced the first M series camera in 1954. Now, fifty two years later, another landmark has been reached as Leica enter the digital era. Built from the ground up, the M8 retains its metal construction and brass top plate.

It incorporates a 10 megapixel CCD, the new KAF-10500 CCD, developed by Kodak specifically for the M8.

Availability is predicted for the end of November.
