German Camera Giant Leica Comes into The Indian Market Shelves in Delhi

Ever since the photography world garnered immense popularity over time, the “camera does not matter” debate has increased with much significance. In respect to the brand rivalry, the only thing that strikes users’ mind: is Canon better than Nikon? Or is it vice-versa? Regardless of this, we have seen other brand names that have come into the limelight including Sony with its Alpha 7R III. However, the aforementioned imaging giants have also had its own shares in the recent past as we have reported on both Nikon’s mirrorless cam and Canon EOS M100 (when it was initially announced).

Talking about the Indian market, it has always gained a lot of attention on the camera front and received some of the most eminent cameras in the recent past. To beat all photography rivalries, specifically the Nikon-Canon one, the German-based camera giant, Leica, leaving no stone unturned, has now announced its foray into the Indian markets. What may be pleasing is that Leica has opened its initial partner store in India’s capital, Delhi, and thus is planning to widen its reach in more destination points initially starting with the metros.
