If you’ve ever shelled out a few thousand dollars (or more) for a Leica, you’ve likely kept it far away from pools, lakes, or even puddles. That won’t be a problem with the company’s newest camera, though.
Announced today, the Leica X-U is waterproof, shatterproof, and costs just under $3,000. The X-U can be submerged up to 49 feet, and is made to withstand other extremes, too. Leica’s winterized it and dust-sealed it, meaning you can bring the X-U just about everywhere you were afraid to bring any Leica you’ve ever owned.
