Leica's Biggest Risk in 20 years : The M EV1

Go to http://squarespace.com/Chelsea & save 10% off your first website or domain with code “Chelsea" Chelsea Mercado Northrup reviews the new Leica M EV1, including Leica's new feature that put this camera in a segment of it's own. For the first time in the history of the M-System, Leica has replaced the iconic optical rangefinder with a built-in 5.76 million dot electronic viewfinder, creating an entirely new category that hasn't existed in over 20 years. Is this a game-changer or a dealbreaker? I go hands-on with Leica's newest full-frame camera to test the 60 megapixel sensor, EVF focusing experience, focus peaking, image quality, and that stunning Leica look we all love. Plus, the build quality, the surprisingly light body (30% lighter than the M11!), content authenticity, and whether this $8,995 manual focus camera is actually worth it. Whether you're a Leica shooter, a street photography enthusiast, or just curious about what makes Leica so special this one's for you.
