Leica has announced the Leica M11 today. The new rangefinder camera has a full-frame 60.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor. The new UV/IR filter and RGGB colour filter array are particularly notable.

The sensor has 'Triple Resolution Technology'. The RAW files in DNG format and JPEG files can be saved at 60, 36 or 18 megapixels. The full sensor surface is always used.

The 36 and 18-megapixel resolutions provide faster camera operation, more shots in continuous mode and smaller files.

A special IR + UV cut filter, consisting of two very thin cemented glass layers, provides, according to Leica, effective correction of even the most oblique incoming light rays. Thanks to a new colour filter pattern, the camera also offers improved, more natural colour reproduction.

The Leica M11 has a sensitivity range of ISO 64 to 50,000 and works with 14-bit colour depth and a dynamic range of up to 15 stops.

With the electronic shutter, which has a maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000s, you can still use wide-open apertures in bright light. With the Leica M11, it is possible for the first time to choose multi-field metering when using the rangefinder.

In addition to an SD memory card slot, the Leica M11 also has 64 gigabytes of built-in storage. Handy if you happen to forget your memory card.

Leica seems to have produced a particularly interesting camera that can certainly compete with top models from the major brands.
