What is so special about Leica Cameras and why are they so expensive ?
All of these answers and none addressing the fact that leica makes some of the best glass in the most compact size. Crazy how good the quality of their lenses are for their size, imo unbeatable size to quality ratio. More on reddit.com

What’s the best Leica for first time Leica buyer? I’m a photographer of many years with Canon equipment. Don’t want to spend a ton but want something that will last and is versatile….best bang for the buck type thing.
Don't want to spend a ton of money on a Leica is an oxymoron More on reddit.com

Is there anything actually special about Leica cameras?
Oh, you just woke up and said “let’s start a holy war” didn’t you? So, I will say they are good quality cameras, in general, but it’s the glass that makes the difference. More on reddit.com

whats up with the hype around Leica?
These days they're more of a luxury item. Some of them are unique (there's no other digital rangefinder quite like the M series), some are technically superior to the competition (Q2). But other than that, it's a bit like buying a fancy watch. More on reddit.com

r/Cameras on Reddit: What is so special about Leica Cameras and why are they so expensive ?

I am a Nikon User since about 4-5 years and Love Nikon Output. Just curious as to why Leica's are considered so special.

Leica user here. I don’t have a digital M camera yet but I do use a film M and the concept is the same. It’s about the user experience and build quality for the most part. Nobody NEEDS a Leica - Nikon and virtually any other brand has the capability of replicating the “Leica look” that many people talk about in regard to the output of their digital bodies. It more comes down to the build quality, user experience, the tactile feel / satisfaction of using one, and let’s face it the prestige of owning one. Generally, most of the rangefinder cameras are made of premium materials such as brass which gives a hefty and high build quality feel to it. Taking a shot with them feels extremely satisfying, the tolerances are very tight, and the experience is just fun. The high-quality of these cameras allow them to last much longer and be more durable. This is especially the case for the film bodies, which I would consider similar to owning a luxury watch for example. Nobody needs an Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Rolex, etc because things like the Apple Watch exist that can keep time much more accurately with more features, but those are prestigious brands that have craftsmanship and heritage and I think Leica is very similar to that analogy. Nobody needs an overpriced camera with less features than your well known Japanese mirrorless, but it’s more about owning something you know will last generations and could even be passed down to my children in the future, something along those lines I guess. I myself bought my Leica as a milestone in my life and every time I pick it up I’m reminded of that day. I got it. It was a goal for me one day to own. So I feel like a lot of the reason many people liking the brand isn’t necessarily for the end image product itself, it’s more for everything surrounding that. I do think these cameras have become overhyped by Youtubers and trendsetters, and I totally agree that parts of the brand have become a bit too elitist but they’re not exactly suppose to be the most practical thing. Kind of like a sports car or like the watch analog I mentioned. (Sorry for the long write up, I didn’t realize how much I wrote oops)

they are hand made in low quantities. they are also marketed towards the luxury end of the market. they are good cameras but unless you really want the rangefinder you can find just as good and better equipment if you need EVF based systems.

The Leica M EV1 is a rangefinderless M: Digital Photography Review
For manual focus, an EVF with punch-in zoom and other focus aids is better than a plain OVF. And mirrorless is primarily an autofocus system. When choosing between an M11 and a M-EV1, however, the Leica user faces a very different calculus.
