Are they just toys compared to a Hasselblad Medium Format Modular 503CW Camera with a German-made Carl Zeiss Optical Lens and a Phaseone 60 megapixel Digital Camera Back?
Seamless, your claim that the Leica is second rate to its competitors is absolutely ridiculous,
Let’s compare it to the Nikon d2xs which was released about the same time as the M8.
Nikon d2xs sensor: 1.5x crop
Leica M8 sensor: 1.3x crop
Body quality: No question. Leica rules.
Lens compatibility:
D2xs: uses Nikkor lenses
Leica m8: uses Leica lenses.
Leica Lenses are much more highly regarded than Nikkor lenses.
Let’s see you use a Leica lens in your Nikon.
Anti-alias filter:
Leica m8 doesn’t use one.
So per pixel sharpness is noticeably better than the Nikon.
The lack of autofocus in the Leica is understandable since it’s a rangfinder camera.
Image Quality: Leica wins. hands down.
Now lets see you compare the Nikon D3 to the Leica S2. hahaha.
BTW, I don’t have a Phaseone 60 megapixel back.
What I use is the p45.
And yes, I have a Leica M8.
I know it will last much longer than your Nikon toy.
Come on guys - the first rule of forums and sites like this is
DON’T FEED THE TROLLS.

I have a Hasselblad 503cw - Phaseone p45 - Zeiss ZV 50mm set up and also a Hasselblad h3d-ii 50 with a 50mm lens.
What should I bring?
There is a lot of dust, sand, heat, water etc. there — I'd take neither — but if I really had to chose, I would take the 503cw (but also take a film back with some film, in case you have problems with the digital back).
