In this global era, it's hard to be unique; conscious of that fact, the [Leica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica) camera company allows you to configure your very own digital camera in only nine steps.

You can choose a LEICA MP or M7 model, and from the [modular component system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-camera) you'll select the details that match your needs and wishes in terms of style, functionality and practicality.

Options include the lens cap color, leather trim, viewfinder frame-lines, controls, and personalized engraving. With over 4,000 combination options, even the most unusual wishes can be met.

I love the option of adding your own engraved signature!

The Leica configurator lets you try out your ideas before turning them into reality--from now on, your digital camera is really yours!
