LEICA M8 doesn't only look like an M - it utilizes all the benefits of the analog Leica M system for sophisticated and creative digital photography. It is the only digital camera for professionals to incorporate the rangefinder system with its advantages of discreet and quiet operation, speed and precision. And the no-compromise quality criteria of the M system continue to apply to the M8. Full compatibility with nearly all M lenses means that their unique imaging performance is now available for digital photography, too. The low-noise CCD image sensor with a resolution of 10.3 megapixels has been specifically matched to the compact lens design to guarantee superlative photographic quality. The controls and functions of the digital M still concentrate on the essentials.

-10.3 Million pixel Low-noise CCD sensor specially tailored for M system lenses
-Automatic / Manual exposures (ISO 160 to ISO 2500)
-Stepless automatic shutter 32 seconds to 1/8000 of a second
-2.5 inch display (230,000 pixels) for image reproduction and menu selection
-Stay informed at all times: Unique LED integrated in the viewfinder
-5-pin mini USB port for fast USB 2.0 data transfer
-Flash at ultra-high exposure times: In conjunction with special Metz flash units can now flash at synch speeds up to 1/1000 second
-Use flash creatively: Flash unit can also be triggered by the second shutter curtain
-Single and Continuous shooting modes
-Size & Weight: 139 x 80 x 37mm, 545g

If it's cheaper elsewhere online then be a friend to everyone and list where - otherwise your comment is as useful as a chocolate fireguard

Personally for me, this is a great price for a fantastic bit of kit but unless you have one or two specific reasons for buying this camera you'd be far wiser to save a whole load of cash and buy a Canon or Nikon.

Firstly, I suspect that if somebody is in the market for this then they probably don't need to worry too much about looking for hot deals - blimey that's one expensive camera!

It would appear though that if you buy this camera and a lens then Leica UK will give £500 cashback. I suspect that this is only for oficial UK stock so if anybody is thinking of getting this then I'd make sure you get it from a UK supplier (I don't know whether any of the sites mentioned are or not, but I know a lot of cheaper cameras are imports). Also, I wouldn't rik spending that amount of money on an import anyway, in case of any warranty problems!

What?! Just because you're buying something expensive doesn't mean you don't want the best price you can get. That's just crazy.

Agreed even more so looking for a deal when you're buying this type of camera. Maybe the OP is happy to shell out sticker price for his new £60K Merc but haggles like a bar steward over his hair cut!
