![]() ![]() With the battery removed, you now have access to the SD card slot It’s easily one of my favorite points of design on any camera and incredibly fluid in use: flip the lever to partially eject the battery then push a second time to fully unlock and remove it.īecause of this we now 1) have a significantly higher-capacity battery, 2) have easy and quick access to the SD card slot, 3) no longer need to remove the camera from a tripod to change batteries or card, 4) have much-improved weather-sealing, and 5) don’t have a base plate to worry about damaging or losing. The biggest external change in the M11 is on the bottom - gone (finally) is the antiquated base plate as the camera inherits the same battery design from the SL, Q, and S2/S3 bodies. The Leica M11 Body and Menu The silver lever next to the tripod mount will partially eject the battery That’s a steep price bump, especially for the base model, even considering Leica’s history of price increases that outpace inflation (the opposite behavior of every other camera manufacturer). This represents a 38% increase over the M10’s introductory price of $6,495 - or $7,365 with inflation. I suspect that transfer speeds from the internal storage are also faster and possibly the buffer dumping, though I have no numbers on this.įinally, the price: a whopping $8,995. ![]() It also has additional advantages, primarily that you are never without the ability to take photos because you forgot, lost, or damaged your SD card(s). I suspect in terms of the internals and its limited space, it’s easier to integrate flash storage - which can be located anywhere within the body - rather than squeezing a second card slot next to the first slot. The integration of 64GB of internal flash storage is a very smart move and one that makes a lot of sense. *I suspect this should be 3.68 million dots and not megapixels, but I am going off the press documentation. The 2.95” Active Matrix TFT LCD panel - with Gorilla Glass cover and 2.33 million dots - is now touchscreen capable like the M10-P. The Leica M11 features a full-frame AA-less 60.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor with a base 64 ISO and dual gain, a newly developed UV/IR cut filter and RGGB color filter array, MAESTRO III processing engine, a much larger 1800mAh battery behind which rests a UHS-II SD card slot, 64GB of internal flash storage, pixel-binned 36.5MP and 18.4MP output options, a USB 3.1 Type-C port for charging and data transfer, and a new 3.68 megapixel* tilting Visoflex 2 EVF, which will be compatible with the Leica M10 (and presumably M10-P, M10-R, and M10 Monochrom) in a firmware update. Let’s get the headline specs out of the way. ![]()
