Leica M9-P 18MP Digital Rangefinder Camera Sapphire Black - 10703 #10703-leica The history of 35 mm photography began almost 100 years ago with the legendary Ur-Leica. Today, it is the Leica M9 and its sister model, the M9-P, that carry the legend of Leica M-Cameras into the digital age. They are the smallest full-format, digital system cameras the world has ever seen. The CCD sensor, developed specifically for the M9/M9-P, is capable of perfectly capturing the full 35 mm format of 24 x 36 mm. The M9 and the M9-P, in the familiar, classic, and timeless M design, represent the quintessence of their predecessors, but feature the ultimate in technological advancements of our time. This makes them the perfect contemporary tools for all who demand the highest standards in image quality and take pleasure in the conscious composition of their images.
