Experience Brand-new Cameras by Leica
Saturday, October 28, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At this very special event, you’ll be able to check out first-hand several highly anticipated, brand-new cameras from Leica.

Experience the M8 Digital Rangefinder. Breaking completely new ground, the 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 10.3MP has been specifically matched to the compact lens design to guarantee superlative photographic quality.

Discover Leica’s new compact digital cameras, the D-Lux 3 and the ultra zoom V-Lux 1. The D-Lux 3 lets you use the high-quality Leica lens to take stunning shots from the wide-angle to the telephoto range. With O.I.S. optical stabilization technology and ultra-fast processing, the Leica D-Lux 3 sets new standards in its class. Choose between three picture formats, achieve first-class image quality with the camera’s 10 million megapixel sensor and assess your shots on the wide-screen display. The V-Lux line makes photography in the compact class more professional than ever before. This is the all-purpose digital camera for universal use that combines the best Leica image quality with the convenience of an intelligent all-in-one solution. Equipped with the 12X optical zoom and the optical image stabilization, there is hardly any photographic situation you won''t be able to master with your V-Lux 1.

The Digilux 3 gives ambitious amateurs and professional photographers a whole new range of possibilities. The Leica Digilux 3 is the first Digilux camera with an interchangeable lens and therefore forms the basis for the Leica D system, a completely independent digital SLR system. The clear design of the camera housing and the operating concept of the Digilux are in keeping with the best Leica tradition. The shutter speed, focal length, aperture and focus can be set by hand on the camera and the lens - a fast, precise and creative solution in comparison with conventional SLR cameras. The interplay of Leica''s legendary performance and the latest technology is almost revolutionary: the newly designed lens Leica D Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-3.5/14-50 ASPH. combined with state-of-the-art optical image stabilization and a 7.5MP LiveMos sensor result in a magnificent standard of imaging.

Leica Sales Representative Matthew Butzow will be here to demonstrate these great new cameras and answer your questions.
