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!

Harry, that might be a 20x24 Leaf sensor

A little embarrassing.
The bible is written by man not God and certainly not Jesus. The first Bible came out many years after Jesus died. So there you go.

Hmmm... Genesis is quite a bit older than that. Isaac Asimov wrote quite an interesting book on the subject: "In the Beginning".

I'm hoping to be able to change sensors the same as we once changed film.

I don't care one wit what kind of sensor Leica uses. I care only whether the camera performs to my expectations, or better.

Speculating about the specifics of the technology to be used is an armchair exercise for hobbyists with too much time on their ands, when they should be making photographs.

Equipment is transient. Photographs matter.

M8 vs Nex 5n and M10

My M8 vs Nex 5n thread talks about how I feel the M8 beats the 5n in image quality. The M9 is essentially an M8 with a bigger sensor. I hope with the M10, Leica still can preserve the high dynamic range and sharpness of the files created by the M8 and M9 as well as the M Mono. A step towards what I am seing in the NEX would be bad news!
