p.7 #1 · canon DSLR vs Leica M8 for extended traveling
Each system is good for something...the problem is trying to suggest one system is best for everything; it is not.

Funny - 99% of their sales are to users..... Buy cheap- buy twice, my grandma used to say.
99%? Somehow I doubt that. Anyway, I was merely expressing my personal opinion about Leica Camera. YMMV.
Their binoculars, OTOH, are top-notch.

I would not call the binoculars exactly cheap either.

I bought mine (10x40B) new 31 years ago, have used 'em in the arctic & the tropics and most places in-between and have had no problems.

I haven't read this whole thread (7 pages!) but wonder if this review has been mentioned. It's by a photojournalist who tried the M8 in his work in Iraq; in fact he tried three of them and decided they were unusable for his work.

My first ones which I got ages ago were stolen in Nairobi about ten years ago. I got new ones back then and they serve me well. Leica loaned me the newest type a few weeks ago. Now I wish my current ones will be stolen . They have been spectacularly improved over the last decade.

Looks like this thread is about to die.
Olympus just announced a 4/3 camera without optical viewfinder and mirror - could be the answer to a small interchangable lens camera on a budget?

yes this one could be interesting, especially since it can use the standard 4/3 lenses
. They have been spectacularly improved over the last decade.
