I was invited to the new Leica store in SoHo to check out some of their latest gear this week. I knew about their compact offerings, the X2 and D-Lux 6, so I knew what I was getting myself into. But their was one product that called out to me, something completely unique among all current digital cameras. The M Monochrom—a camera that shoots only black and white. Read More >>

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Ernst Leitz GmbH. Thank you for meeting with me. The reason I asked you to stop by today was because I have some concerns with your son Leica and his ability to follow simple directions. Read More >>
Let’s be honest, most of us couldn't afford a Leica camera and would do unspeakable things for one. But don't worry! You don’t have to! You can buy a Leica Camera sticker for your iPhone 5 to front like you have a Leica. Read More >>
Anyone in the market for a top point-and-shoot camera is probably deciding between Canon's S100 and Sony's RX100. But Panasonic is back in the game with the Lumix LX7, a sequel to one of the top shooters of 2010, the wildly popular LX5. Does Panasonic's latest have what it takes to beat these pocket titans?

"And those that didn't live it, will love it!
Although this camera does look like it's parents were a set of tupperware bowls." More »
Everything that Jony Ive touches turns to gold, so it will come as good news to rich photographers everywhere that he's teaming up with Leica to design a super-limited edition of the M-series camera. Read More >>
The new Leica M is German camerasmith's latest photo-slaying, digital full-frame camera in the tradition of its M-series rangefinders. It's the long rumored follow-up/upgrade to the fabulous (and fabulously expensive) M9 from a few years ago. Behold the bonkers camera you'll be drooling over for the next couple of years.

That's like comparing a bus with a train. They're both means of public trans..." More »
If you had £6,120 burning a hole in your savings account, that is. It's far from cheap, but does a camera that shoots only B&W photos interest you at all? Watch our lovingly-shot video that shows off the more polished details of the M Monochrom, and let us know if it gets your heart racing a little faster. Read More >>

"I'm waiting for my M240 to enable me to use my Noctilux. It will be partly funded by the MP I bought for £1650 which after (10?) years I can still se..." More »
Leica's Latest addition to the M series of cameras is a bit different from the ones which came before it: the M Monochrom only shoots pictures in black and white. The £6120 full-frame camera is fully intended for enthusiasts and/or those with a bottomless bank account, and aims to explore the benefits of having a dedicated monochrome sensor (merely removing the color from a photo after the fact is hardly the same).

Leica makes beautiful, very expensive cameras that work wonderfully. The M9-P is no exception: 18 megapixels, gorgeously retro. But if you buy this £21,000 limited edition, you are a moron. Read More >>

Don't get me wrong, I love digital photography, but very few things make me salivate more than a sweet old Leica. And I'm not the only digicam fan who feels that way. Jim Fisher, Digital Camera Analyst for PC Magazine brought this sweet CL to CES. Read More >>
Leica's V-Lux 3 isn't a radical departure from the two models before it. It still has a 24x zoom lens, which shoots at the equivalent lengths of 25-600mm. But now it can finally record video in 1080p and 60 frames per second using the AVCHD codec. Read More >>

Oh, Kodak, once the acme of all things camera, now a stark lesson in Darwinism in technology. You adapt and evolve, or you die. It was revealed today that Kodak is shedding more than £45 million a month. Let's hold hands. Read More >>
