Leic-ya? No Love-ya!

So we took the plunge.  Some people buy fancy cars or fancy jewelry.  We buy cameras.  Or specifically 1 camera - a Leica.  Normally priced way in the stratosphere (e.g. a sizeable down payment on a car...) for the Leica M8, I was was pleasantly surprised to find a smaller fixed lens digital that had great reviews, and amazing focal length, a high megapixel resolution, and a very small (in comparison) price tag.   Plus it was small.  Not quite as small as our little Canon (which ended up failing on us as the years took their toll), but not small enough (and came with a free leather case to boot) to fit in your pocket.

After drooling over it for a few months, we decided to "give" this to each other for Christmas.

Here are a few snap shots from our newest acquisition.
