Leica today announced the M8.2, which is basically an upgrade to the company's M8 digital rangefinder, which has now been around for about a year. Here's a quick rundown of the improvements:
• Metal blade focal plane shutter which is supposed to feel and sound more like a "Leica" shutter
• Ultra scratch-resistant sapphire crystal coverglass protects LCD
• New snapshot mode (for those who want Leica caché%3B but don't want to actually learn to operate the camera. We hereby dub it "Dentist Mode")
• Quick Override setting
• Redesigned bright frame lines in viewfinder
• Leica dot now comes in black
• Vulcanite finish
• Compact charger
Despite rumors to the contrary, the sensor remains 18x27mm. Multiply lens focal length by 1.33 to get its 35mm equivalent. Price will be 4400 Euros, which is approximately $6,213. The Leica M8.2 should be available this month.
