	If you have US$2000 to spare and always want a Leica compact camera, go ahead and treat youreself. History of Leica Leica is the company invented the 35 mm film camera.  Many existing well known camera manufacturer are copy cat of Leica cameras or use it as a design baseline. On the Leica official website, you can read about the history of Leica (click here). Here is an extract from Leica website: "Oskar Barnack's genius idea of creating the small format 35 mm camera created a revolution in photography in 1925, paving the way for the birth of the Leica Legend. His diminutive, lightweight Leica offered a new, undreamed-of freedom in reportage and artistic photography. From that point to the present day, Leica has had a profound influence on our view of the world we live in. And remarkably, you can still savour this sheer visual enjoyment time and time again whenever you use a Leica product to provide that unique visual perspective." Nowadays, still there are many manufacturers making mirrorless camera based on the styling of Leica.
