Leica today (9/9/09) announced their new M9 camera. Specs are here.

The M9 is proudly retro with a rangefinder, metal focal plane shutter and no autofocus, but then again it has a full-frame 24×36mm sensor, a 5270 x 3516 pixels (18.5 Megapixel) KODAK KAF-18500 CCD Image Sensor and Leica build quality.

Priced at about  $8000 before lenses.

Online photographer has a nice graphic showing the relative sizes of the 3 smallest full frame cameras on the market, and how tiny the M9 (middle) is by comparison to the Canon EOS 5D and the Nikon D700…
