It finally happened. Somebody did what I’ve been predicting for the past 3 years.
That somebody started offering hardware upgrades for their digitals. And who would if not Leica. For their M8-cameras.
It’s been obvious for a while that it’s a bad idea to view a digital camera purchase as an investment. Technology moves so rapidly that a really expensive camera whil be outperformed by a bulk consumer one in a couple of years. That’s why it’s been hard to have a “dream digital” in the same sense that, say, a Leica MP was in the analogue world.
But now that is all changing. The Leica M8 has been my dream camera for a while (although a bit pricy at almost $6000; plus lenses of course, $1500 and up). Problem is that if you do cough up that dough, you want it to be an investment. For life if possible. And now it is. All I have to figure out now is how to extend my American Express credit.
