What do Leica and Hermes have in common? Great photography delivered in style, of course! The rumours of a Leica M7 Hermes edition had been around for some time and it turns out that they are all true. Leica UK has announced the release of the Leica M7 Hermes Edition and the images of the camera that have been doing the round are of the real thing as well.
It had earlier been reported that only 100 units of the uber luxe limited edition camera would be made but the latest reports and the official statement by Leica comes with the good news that 200 units of the camera would be made available.

Nikon may be considered by many as the ultimate when it comes to amazing picture quality in photography but the design of the cameras themselves leave consumers desiring for more. With the launch of the CoolPix series, people are left hoping for a ‘cool camera’ in the future.
The Neo Classic model of the Nikon CoolPix series has been designed with the intent of giving digital photography technology a taste of its ancestors. Unfortunately, it falls flat in this regard because the cameras neither look stylish nor do they appear appear desiring in any way, even to the old-fashioned and nostalgic at heart. On the other hand, the Good Grip has an amazing design with a parallelogram body and stylish in silver and black leather. The CoolPix series have been designed by Nikolay Komarov and it is thus surprising that one designer can produce a beautiful design like the Good Grip when he shows lack of talent on another design.
