Leica M-E

The M-E es una nueva versión de la Leica M9 con algunas caracterñisticaseliminadas para reducir el coste.

No hay selector de marcos (como en la Leica M9 Titanium) d the (hardly used) external interface (USB port) has disappeared which simplifies the manufacture of the body shell.

This camera is the entry model in the current Leica M family, comprising the M-E, M Monochrom and the (new) M. The sensor is the KAF-18500 CCD sensor. Top cover is still moulded brass. The M-E (economy, Einsteiger whatever you wish) is a fine camera, but presumably will score only with its lower price for new buyers into the Leica M system. Seasoned Leica users will opt for the new M and with a price tag of some Euro 6200 this new Leica camera might be tempting for M9 owners too. The video capabilities are not my cup of tea, but tethered shooting is a fine idea when doing test shots.
