Lovers of cameras should be excited to know that Leica has finally dropped their new camera. Previously called the Leica "Mini M," the compact camera was officially unveiled today as the "Leica X Vario" by the German brand. Not only does it look great cosmetically, it also comes with some great features that should satisfy photographers worldwide. It comes with a Vario lens with an equivalent zone range covering 28 to 70mm along with a 16mp APS-C sensor, as well as full HD recording with 1920 x 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second. The price range is roughly over [...]

Mir persönlich wäre die Leica M9-P »Edition Hermès« einen ticken zu edel. Und mit 20.000 Euro (bzw 40.000 Euro für die Série Limitée Jean-Louis Dumas) auch etwas zu teuer. Aber zum Glück gibt es ja Sachen, die nix kosten. Wie das sehr gut gemachte Making of Video zu der eben genannten Kamera:

Black Design Associates have whipped up a pretty interesting iPhone / Leica i9 fusion camera concept. The device would cost around $1000 and shoot 12.1 megapixel images. It's a long shot that anything like this will ever be produced but here's hoping it sees the light of day.

This is the S1, Leica's first digital camera. Introduced in 1996, it was a digital scanning back that could work with various lenses. Each exposure took 185 seconds to complete so had to be shot using continuous light. You might think that such an old digicam would produce inferior results, but apparently it was quite the opposite: "Though slow, the S1 yielded 76Mb @ 24-bit (151Mb @ 48-bit), 5140 x 5140, 12-bit RGB image files that contained little if any of the artifacting, blooming, and fringing that continue to plague us to this very day" [...]

A few weeks ago I had symptoms of what I'm calling Leica love —it seems like a feverish desire more than anything. Stumbling upon these photos of a special edition M8 only intensified it. Check out how clear and sexy these product shots are. While the camera is amazing, you're dropping $8,500 on it and I would think that the packaging should be extend further rather than just the typical cardbox box with inserts. Perhaps a red velvet/suede lining in a completely metal case or something along those lines would be the way to go. [...]

All of this recent hype about the FujiFilm X100 has really forwarded my attention towards Leica and some of their compact cameras. Namely the M8 and M9. Sure they may be expensive but it's definitely on my "to own" list. If you've used one of these or better yet own a Leica then I'd love to hear your thoughts .

Since I've gotten my camera, I've been putting in work taking pictures of everything. Photography is very interesting because your dealing with capturing light in order to emulate some form of reality. What you see isn't always what you get depending on the type of camera you have and the settings your using, making it possible for you to literally create your own reality photographically at the click of a button. There's been a lot of buzz surrounding the recent collaboration between Leica and Hermes who came together to create the Leica M7 [...]
