Expensive rebadged Panasonic cameras.

...or maybe not...

you may be in for a surprise,

[sacredgeometry]

wow you know nothing, if you had ever held a Leica M you would know that there is very little in life let alone photography that meets it in terms of quality.

if you want to be a techhead go watch some videos about the d3/d3x

P.s go take a culture lesson, go look at most of the most iconic images ever taken and you will see hassy and leica are behind them not nikon and canon.

Peace

New M9!

@robbyasti Only some of them are. The X1, M9, and S2 are handmade in the Leica factory in Solms, Germany.

Do your research before making a stupid comment.

[nainladen]

@brucecheewai

Yup

That's all that there is to them

that's why you won't see any real pros "unless if he's a leica fanboy" use one

[rixeaun]

there is no "best". it depends on what you like.

leica has very good abberation elemination.

by the way contax got the lenses by zeiss, also german. or what kind of japanese cameras u mean?

[rixeaun]

Hahahahahahahhaah!!

I hava the cheapest one, the c-lux. I know it's made in Japan by Panasonic. But who cares, the Leica red dot looks fantastic on it. I like the d-lux as well. Best looking cameras as far as compacts go. Panasonic versions don't look as good, and lo and behold, they are cheaper too. I never heald a Leica M in my hand, because I think the dealer would be to nervous to let me. I'd be nervous too, I would be afraid to drop it, you know. I also like Pentax by the way. Similar culture to Leica

[shane6003PQ]

Almost correct. Carl Zeiss AG is Leica's major competition when it comes to lens quality. I'd take a wonderful Zeiss lens any day! But then again, Zeiss is such a larger company and has a much larger history with high quality lenses, which every camera/lens company has copied designs off of. Zeiss these days focuses on other advancements in optical technology that make them millions versus a couple thousand a lens. (speaking only of leica camera AG, Leica Geosystems makes a bundle too!)
