Leica Announces the M9-P: Basically an M9 without the Red Dot
Turns out that mysterious Leica camera spotted on British singer Seal was in fact a Leica that didn't officially exist yet, but now it does: Leica has just announced the M9-P digital rangefinder. The new camera is basically the M9 with a few cosmetic changes -- all the guts are identical. Like on the non-digital Leica MP, the traditional red dot is missing from the M9-P, which meant to give the camera an "understated appearance".
