Digital Leica M8 / M8.2 / M9 / M-E /Mono / M10 aka "M" Discussions about the Leica M8 /M 8.2 / M9 / M9-P/ M-E / M Monochrom / M10 aka "M": Leica digital M mount rangefinder cameras. Naming the new digital M the "Leica M" is VERY unfortunate as it will only confuse newbies with other Leica M cameras of the the past. Happily there is room for confusion with only the past 59 years of Leica M production ... since Leica introduced the Leica M system in 1953. All Hail for the Leica Marketing Department learning Leica M history!

The one on the E-M5 body is newer and it stabilizes in more direction.

I never get the decision by Panasonic to go with in-lens stabilization.
Never get a straight answer when I ask those who believe it is superior to in-body systems.

Oh, and good call on the OM-D.

My thought as well!

Like mentioned above, if you MUST HAVE that rangefinder experience, there's no substitute. For some of us, the experience was fun, but have moved on.

Enjoy your OM!! I've yet to try one, store is always out of stock.
