Don't worry, the Leica M8 needs no battery. All it needs is an (optional) Leicavit-type of power supply, so that you have to keep triggering all the time while shooting/playing pictures. As an excellent alternative, you can buy a special M8 bike-type dynamo, called the Knarf. Great for shooting while cycling.
Leica is setting the new standard for timeless mechanical digicams! ;-) Dario ----- Original Message ----- From: "graywolf" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 7:22 PM Subject: Re: Digital Leica M8? > There are all kinds of companies now making mechanical watches again. > There are probably 50 brands of automatic wristwatches available today, > $50 and up.
