| The Bottom Line | Leica's M8 rangefinder has a good feel and solid construction. Unfortunately, a production flaw has kept us from making a final judgment. Check back soon for our verdict. | With a lot to like and just a little to dislike, the Sony Alpha NEX-7 comes up a winner, albeit an expensive one. | The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is a nice compromise if you can't afford a Leica but want to approximate the experience and get some stunning photo quality to boot. | |
