A Review of the New Leica M11 Camera

The Leica M11 is here, and it brings with it a bevy of new features and improvements that have captured the attention of Leica fans and general photographers alike. This excellent video review takes a look at the new camera and if it can keep up with the legendary standards set by its predecessors. 

Coming to you from Matt Day, this great video review takes a look at the new Leica M11 rangefinder camera. The M11 comes with a variety of new features, most notable being a 60-megapixel back-illuminated sensor that puts it near the very top of full frame resolutions, just behind the Sony a7R IV. The sensor is quite versatile, offering 36- and 18-megapixel modes that show better noise performance and dynamic range as one uses the smaller resolutions. With an eye toward f/0.95 lenses, the electronic shutter fires at up to 1/16,000 s. The viewfinder features automatic parallax correction and frame selection with options for 35mm/135mm, 28mm/90mm, and 50mm/75mm focal length pairs. The camera also features live view electronic stabilization when using the rear LCD. Of particular note is 64 GB of internal storage, a real boon, particularly when paired with the camera's USB-C connectivity. I have to say that for a company that is traditionally thought of as rather conservative and focused on pure photography, I am thrilled to see the M11 with features that I wish other companies would have implemented a decade ago. Check out the video above for Day's full thoughts.
