Leica M-240

The small, red dot of a Leica camera marks you out as a photographer of fine taste with deep pockets, but it’s not purely a status symbol. The M-240’s 24-megapixel sensor, A-grade optics and powerful processor deliver consistently classy shots. Add the Leica R Adapter M and you can attach any vintage Leica lens to its compact body, too. $8,700, leica-camera.com
