This is the Leica M6


This is the Leica Digilux-2

What's the difference? The M6 is actually a film rangefinder. It's the photojournalist camera (in the Leica tradition of reportage photography). Leica has maintained this design up till this day.

The Digilux-2 is the digital version. If you look at it carefully, you'd notice that aperture, focal length and focus are all adjusted on the beautiful lens. The shutter-speed can be adjusted on the wheel at the top plate. It almost has the feel of an actual film camera. The only thing lacking is this department is a reflex shutter. Image: 5.0 mega-pixels, 2/3" CCD. Lens is F/2.0-2.5, 28-90mm (135-format equivalent), aspherical, and actually looks like a 35mm Leica M-mount lens!

I want one.

The problem is the price for the Digilux-2. With the same amount of cash, you might as well buy an actual Leica M rangefinder.
