Leica M9 Digital Camera - BODY ONLY Product Info

Leica M9 Digital Camera, Body Only combines an extremely high-resolution sensor with careful processing of the digital picture data, to provide the best picture results under all conditions. The propriety CCD sensor in the Leica Camera from M9 Series with18 Million Pixels, allows the utilization of the full 35 mm format. The sensor of the M 9 Digital Camera by Leica uses a newly developed cover glass to eliminate infrared light contamination and allows the utilization of existing Leica M lenses without loss of image quality.

The use of external UV/IR filters is not required. The simple handling and menus of the Leica M9 Digital Camera allow the photographer to concentrate on taking pictures, not the controls. The key control element of the Leica Digital Cameras is an intuitive four-way switch and dial combination used in conjunction with the 2.5-inch LCD monitor on the back. To set the ISO sensitivity, simply maintain light pressure on the ISO button while simultaneously turning the dial to select the required setting. All other functions important for everyday situations are quickly and easily accessible by pressing the set button: white balance, image-data compression, resolution, exposure correction, exposure bracketing, and programmable user profiles. The user profiles can be programmed with any combination of camera and shooting settings, stored under an assigned name, and accessed quickly whenever required for a particular situation.

It is hardly unusual that a Leica, once owned, becomes a lifelong companion. This also applies to the digital Leica M 9 Camera: In spite of the larger sensor size, the compact housing of the Leica M8 camera and Leica M 8.2 camera was being retained. With exterior dimensions of 139 x 37 x 80 mm (5.5 x 1.5 x 3.1 in) it maintains the ideal shape of the M camera and becomes the smallest full frame system camera in the world. Its closed, full-metal housing, crafted from a high-strength magnesium alloy, and its top deck and bottom plate machined from large blocks of brass, provide perfect protection for its precious inner mechanisms. The digital components and shutter assembly of the Leica M9 Camera are similarly constructed with endurance in mind. Free firmware updates ensure that the camera benefits from the latest technology.

In short: The Leica M9 Camera is an investment for a lifetime. The camera is available in classic black vulcanite finish with traditional fine leatherette finish. Included with the LEICA M9, is a license for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, a professional digital workflow solution available for both Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows operating systems. The software is a free download for Leica Digital Camera M9 customers, to guarantee that the most current version is always available.
