Are you familiar with Leica M cameras? With the introduction of the LEICA M9, the legend of these cameras is now taken into the digital era. You can take great pride in owning this because it is, at present, the world’s smallest full-format digital system camera that serves as a modern tool for every individual looking for the highest standards in image quality. This camera boasts a perfect combination of high-resolution image sensor, superior performance of M lenses, and modern processing of the captured digital information to deliver the best imaging results in every photographic situation.

The camera’s 18-megapixel CCD image sensor is capable of capturing full 35-mm film format. All M lenses used on the M9 or M9-P offer remarkable angle of view resulting in images that are particularly rich in details. Yes, images produced are natural, real, and without compromise. You won’t have any problem when it comes to handling, because the Leica M9 and the new M9-P now ensures simple menu navigation. It comes with an intuitive four-way switch and dial combination plus 2.5″ monitor. To set the sensitivity, all it takes is constant pressure on the ISO button turning the dial simultaneously to choose the required setting. Other functions like white balance, image-data compression, resolution, exposure correction, exposure bracketing, and programmable user profiles are quickly and easily accessible by pressing the “Set” button.

Despite their large sensors both cameras were able to maintain the compact body size of their predecessors. Its one-piece full-metal housing is built from a high-tensile magnesium alloy. To protect the camera’s inner mechanisms, they are provided with a top deck and bottom plate that’s machined from blocks of solid brass. A Leica-M isn’t only an investment; it can also be a companion for a lifetime.
