Leica M9-P

The Leica M9-P is a camera from another time, wrapped up in a digital package. This absurdly priced rangefinder won't appeal to most buyers, but the small percentage of takers can expect top-notch design, superb images, and good low-light performance.

I'm on the fence. In terms of usability for street photography, it takes much practice with a camera like an M9-P and its manual focus lenses to make the process subtle, seamless and fast. On the first day of testing, I accidentally bumped the shutter...
