To capture that decisive moment in a narrow Tokyo alley or a vast Berlin platz, you need to exercise not only patience but discretion. While potential photographic subjects would shy away from a DSLR-wielding tourist, barely a soul would notice a box as compact as Leica’s CL. Pair it with an ultrasharp 18-mm f/2.8 prime lens—it sticks out less than an inch, keeping the CL on the DL. The superfast autofocus, bright electronic viewfinder, and well-placed manual controls allow for quick composition, while the 25-megapixel APS-C sensor produces results worthy of printing and mounting prominently. Plus, wirelessly sending images to your phone for a quick Instagram update is perfect for stoking the jealousy of friends back home. Read our full review of the Leica CL.
