As a long time Leica user, I officially announce to the world, that even if I had the money, I would be Totally lost in the maze of present Leica cameras currently on the market. Leica I give up. I'm lost.
OK Leica, I give up.

The best camera is one that still works!
I don't see a problem here. I think Leica's current line up, provided you have the dosh, is about as good as it gets. They have their competition covered in nearly every area and considering the M8 was their first really serious foray into digital they've come a long way.
And .... they still offer a film camera!

too many for me to follow but good for them.

Woah, that's a lot of cameras. Now I'm confused when I hadn't been before!

Actually -3- film cameras! MP, M7, M-A.

It's pretty simple, really... there's the S which is the studio pro line... the M which is what most of us are drawn to, and then the others that are sold to folks so that Leica can make enough profits to continue to offer the S and M lines. See? Simple!

The website is so bad these days - I can't even find things I know they make.
Why all the hidden tabs ... that unveil so little information.

+1, seems no different than figuring anything else out in life and it is not like their lineup is exactly huge. I would think sorting through Nikon or Canon's lineup would be far more confusing.

I wanted to to buy my mother an ipad for Christmas so I showed her all the choices at the online apple store. She ended up selecting the toaster oven.

No problem for me, I'm glad Leica is making different digital camera, less features
means lower price???? (Maybe)

I think the issue is that you are not going to buy, so there was no need to keep up with / care about the differences. It's not like everything was announced all at once.

If one were interested in buying, one would figure it out.

With that frame of mind how do you handle grocery stores or clothes shopping?
Leica only has a few choices, it's easy.
I was going to buy my girlfriend a trip to London, but I ended up buying her a movie ticket?

Not quite the same, most of the grocery list every week is the same and once you know which brand mustard you like you don't have to make that decision again for a while.
I know what the S and M systems are, but what the heck is the other stuff ?

You don't "shop" do you? 🙂
I love camera "shopping," I seldom buy. Many men, especially ones with lists, confuse "shopping" with buying stuff. I was "shopping" at Adorama just the other day, I looked at probably 20 uesed cameras, enjoy myself.

Stuff you're not interested in enough to learn about?

Quite right 😀
By "shopping" you mean browsing/window shopping ? I love shopping for books even if I don't buy half the stuff I see, but I have to say shopping for clothes or cameras just doesn't do anything for me

If Leica's choices have made you give up in despair as they offer more than one camera, then I guess you gave up years ago on Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fuji, Pentax, Lomo...
