Leica Camera Japan has announced the release of the digital rangefinder camera 'Leica M11-D' without a rear monitor on September 21. Priced at 1,540,000 yen (including tax).
Focus on Shooting by Removing the Rear Monitor
By omitting the rear monitor, it offers a shooting experience similar to a film camera by limiting immediate image review. An ISO sensitivity dial is placed on the back for intuitive operation. The red Leica logo on the front of the body is also omitted, resulting in a subtle and pure design.
Equipped with a 60 Megapixel Sensor and Latest Technology
Features a 35mm full-frame backside-illuminated CMOS sensor with approximately 60 megapixels. With Leica's unique 'Triple Resolution Technology', users can choose from three RAW data recording sizes: 60 megapixels, 36 megapixels, and 18 megapixels.
Supports continuous shooting at up to 5 frames per second and offers a wide sensitivity range from ISO 64 to ISO 50000, providing high-quality images in various shooting scenes. Additionally, it includes a large 256GB internal memory to store high-resolution photos adequately.
Smartphone Connectivity and Environmental Considerations
Supports wireless connection via Bluetooth, allowing integration with smartphones through the dedicated 'Leica FOTOS' app. This enables the use of a smartphone as a display for reviewing captured images and changing camera settings, incorporating a digital workflow even without a rear monitor.
Additionally, it features a USB Type-C port for easy charging and data transfer. The product packaging is environmentally friendly, made almost entirely of natural materials. A lineup of dedicated camera protectors and carrying straps combines functionality with design.
