New Limited Edition LEICA M8.2 Safari

Going on a safari this year? If so, this may be the camera for you. LEICA just announced their new limited edition M8.2 Safari camera set in an olive green color. The set includes a brown calfskin leather carrying strap and a matching camera bag created by the camera bag specialists Billingham. This special edition is limited to only 500 cameras and will be available in February 2009.

Features include a 10.3 megapixel sensor, 2.5-inch display, RAW data capture, a silver anodized LEICA ELMARIT-M 28 mm f/2.8 ASPH. lens with a metal lens shade, a silver E39 UV/IR filter, and it weighs only 6.3 ounces.

Fair warning...this limited edition M8.2 Safari set comes in at a hefty price of around $10,000. But then again, if you can afford to go on a safari, you can probably afford this camera.
