Got nearly $7,000 in spare change and a lust for magnesium-bodied digital rangefinder cameras? Then we've got the solution to your itch, dear friend, as Leica has just let the M9 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/07/leica-m9-microsite-and-brochure-leaked/) out to dance with credit cards in the courting ritual colloquially known as a pre-order. Claimed as the world's smallest full frame digital shooter, the latest Leica sports an 18 megapixel sensor (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/02/leica-m9-and-x1-leak-out-ahead-of-schedule/), a new cover glass that eliminates the need for IR filters, dual image processors, and a 2.5-inch LCD. You'll have to be really sure this shooter is for you, though, because the quoted price is for the body only, and the lenses won't come cheap either. Still, this is the Leica stuff we care to see -- not some silly 24 carat-skinned Limited Edition (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/25/leica-mp-golden-camera-celebrates-60th-anniversary-of-chinese-re/) homage to the unholy.Leica M9 taking pre-orders for its body only (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/leica-m9-taking-pre-orders-for-its-body-only/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 26 Jan 2010 02:17:00 EST.
