Leica M11 Rangefinder Camera (Glossy Black)

60MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor Featuring a new higher-resolution design, the M11's 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor also features a back-illuminated (BSI) design that offers improved noise performance and faster readout speeds. The higher resolution suits more detail-oriented applications, like landscape and architectural subjects, and the noise-reduction benefits of the BSI design improves clarity and color accuracy when working in low-light conditions with higher ISOs. The sensor's physical design also includes an updated ultrathin dual-layer filter glass, which absorbs UV and IR wavelengths for greater clarity and more accurate rendering from the M lenses.

Triple Resolution Technology

Besides the 60MP resolution and BSI design, another first for M cameras is Triple Resolution Technology. This unique pixel binning process allows photographers to select 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP outputs, with each resolution making use of the full sensor area and providing rich 14-bit color. By pixel binning, rather than cropping, the lower resolutions have improved dynamic range and noise levels: 60MP: 14 stops of dynamic range, highest resolution 36MP: 15 stops of dynamic range, best balance of resolution and noise 18MP: 15 stops of dynamic range, lowest noise levels

Maestro III Image Processor The new Maestro III processor contributes to the faster processing and Triple Resolution Technology of the M11. It helps achieve a wider sensitivity range than past M cameras. An ISO 64-50000 range is now available for greater detail, quality, and natural color rendering at lower ISO settings. The Maestro III also enables continuous shooting at up to 4.5 fps and facilitates fast file saving for an intuitive shooting experience.

Imaging Improvements

The M11 is still a photo-only camera that prioritizes manual operation, but a variety of improvements and functional updates have been made to make it the most contemporary M camera yet:

An electronic shutter function now permits shooting at shutter
