=== Leica M === Leica released its first digital rangefinder camera, the [[Leica M8]], in 2006. The M8 and R-D1 are expensive compared to more common [[Digital single lens reflex cameras|digital SLRs]], and lack several features that are common with modern digital cameras, such as autofocus, live preview, movie recording, and face detection. They have no real telephoto lenses available beyond 135 mm focal length and very limited macro ability. Later, Leica released the [[Leica M (Typ 240)]] digital rangefinder, which adds live preview, video recording and focusing assistance, the [[Leica M Monochrom]], which is similar to the [[Leica M9]] but shoots solely in [[Black and White Photography|black and white]], the Leica M Edition 60 which is similar to the M (Typ 240) but omits a rear display panel as a homage to film cameras,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://us.leica-camera.com/Company/Press-Centre/Press-Releases/Photokina-2014/Press-Release-The-essence-of-photography-the-LEICA-M-Edition-60-Special-edition-for-the-60th-anniversary-of-the-Leica-M-rangefinder-system|title=The essence of photography: the LEICA M Edition 60 Special edition for the 60th anniversary of the Leica M rangefinder system // Photokina 2014 // Press Releases // Press Centre // Company β Leica Camera AG|website=us.leica-camera.com|access-date=3 April 2018}}</ref> and the [[Leica M10|M10]] and [[Leica M11|M11]] without video recording. <gallery> File:Epson R-D1 Digital Rangefinder Camera.jpg|The [[Epson R-D1]] with a [[Leica Camera|Leica]] lens File:Leica-M8-IMG 0092.JPG|The [[Leica M8]] File:Leica M9.jpg| The [[Leica M9]] </gallery>
