Leica M9-P Sports Photography Detailed Analysis

Fast Max shutter speed: 1/4000s

Leica M9-P's 1/4000s shutter speed is fast enough to freeze any almost all sports action and is also helpful when you use a fast lens at largest aperture under bright sunlight.

Optical Built-in Viewfinder

During a sports shoot, using a viewfinder allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the camera shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, it comes handy where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight.

Average Ergonomics&Handling

although not as good as a DSLR body, Leica M9-P is good enough for most conditions.

Slow Continuous Shooting: 2.0fps

In the world of sports photography, faster is always better.

Environmental Sealings

Most outdoor sports games are held in all-weather, so your camera has to be ready for difficult conditions such as rain and snow. Exposure to dust and water splashes are also very common in sports.

Focus Points

In sports photography , you keep continuous autofocus (AFC) mode on for tracking the subject and more focus means better tracking.

No Image Stabilization

Due to the lack of sensor based Image stabilization, Leica M9-P users have to rely on lenses with optical IS in order to maximize the sharpness of their sports photography photos. Currently there are native Leica M mount lenses with Image Stabilization for Leica M9-P.
