Leica presents to the world its new fantastic creation: absolutely revolutionary camera with a full-format 24 x 36 mm sensor! Leica M9 is a digital rangefinder camera. Using an improved high-resolution image sensor, the brilliant performance of M lenses and complicated but excellent processing of the captured digital information even the young photographer will be able to make beautiful photos.

The 18-megapixel CCD image sensor is completely unique, because it was made specially for M9. This sensor allows capturing full 35-mm film format easily. Leica ordered Kodak the development of CCD.

M9 sensor, as it's unusual, needs high spatial resolution. This condition is provided by the M lenses, which were made according to the newest technologies of the camera world. Those lenses efficiently correct optical aberrations. That's why they are the best for digital use.

For the most skeptical and also sophisticated customers Leica developed easy setting system. It allows making handling even simpler. You have to push and hold ISO button and at the same time you turn the dial and in that way choose needed settings. You can get the access to everyday used settings with just pushing a setting button. The menu is improved with new options which allow the photographer to do his job quicker. Some options include the possibility of automatically lens recognition via 6-bit coding.

Leica M9 can boast of its amazing shutter. This microprocessor-controlled, almost silent, focal-plane, metal-leaf shutter can reach the shutter speed up to 1/4000 seconds.

The new size made the M9 the smallest digital full-format system camera. From all the devices of M series, its body is really compact.

So you can buy this amazing device in the UK since September 9th. Be ready to pay the retail price of £4,850. But be sure. This camera is worth its money.
