Leica has just officially announced the new Leica M11. It is the newest member of its M-series rangefinder line of cameras. Leica M11 maintains the traditional M-series form factor, but includes a variety of features and upgrades that should appeal to Leica aficionados.
Leica M11 has a 60MP BSI CMOS sensor, featuring what Leica calls ‘Triple Resolution’ technology, allowing the camera to capture Raw or JPG images at 60, 36, or 18 megapixel resolution using the full sensor area.
This new camera costs $8,995, first available for pre-order at B&H/ Adorama.
