Leica has announced a remarkable new camera. The Leica M EV1. This new camera in the iconic Leica M range of rangefinder cameras is no longer a rangefinder. Instead, it has an electronic viewfinder.
Leica M EV1 specifications
- 60-megapixel BSI CMOS full-frame sensor
- 5.76M-dot OLED EVF with 0.76x magnification
- 2.33-million-dot touchscreen
- 64 gigabytes of internal storage
- 2.4/5Ghz Wi-Fi
- Weight: 484 grams
The step is not entirely illogical, in principle. The Leica Q range is fairly popular, and Leica is now combining the advantages of the Q with interchangeable lenses on the M. Of course, Leica will also continue to make the Leica M11, which has the same sensor as this new M camera.
For those who already own and use M lenses, this could be an interesting camera because you can now take advantage of the benefits of an electronic viewfinder. The electronic viewfinder shows you immediately whether the exposure is to your liking.
