Sep 13, 2009 – The M9 has an full-frame 18MP CCD image sensor developed by Kodak to meet Leica’s high quality demands. Combined with Leica’s M lenses you are able to capture images with high resolution and superior image quality. The M9 has an ISO range of 80 to 2500 and can achieve very low-noise and finely detailed images throughout the entire range. The intuitive layout provides access to the essential controls while eliminating multifunction buttons or complex menu heirachies. The M-TTL flash technology enables both precise and creative control over flash and mixed lighting effects. You’ll feel the build quality once you get it in your hands. The magnesium alloy body and brass top and bottom plates will ensure a long and reliable working life. So if you’re looking for a compact, high-quality camera and are willing to spend about $8,000 you can pickup one up sometime in September.
