Leica has introduced the M11-P, a groundbreaking mirrorless rangefinder camera that stands as the world’s first to feature Leica Content Credentials, a technology ensuring the absolute authenticity of photos from capture to publication. This innovative feature integrates encrypted metadata, enhancing transparency in image creation and editing. It provides a robust digital signature supported by a CAI-compliant certificate, offering a reliable provenance trail within the image data.
In keeping with Leica’s tradition, the M11-P carries the distinctive “P” designation, signifying the absence of the iconic red dot. Instead, it elegantly displays the classic Leica inscription on its top panel, maintaining the brand’s timeless aesthetic.
Under the hood, the M11-P is armed with a powerful 60.3 MP BSI CMOS sensor, boasting an ISO range of 64-50000. This sensor facilitates the capture of 14-bit images with an impressive 15-step dynamic range, complemented by the advanced MAESTRO III image processor. Images are stored on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards (UHS-I, with SDXC support up to 2TB) or the enhanced internal memory, exceeding the standard M11’s 256GB capacity.
The camera’s LCD monitor, protected by sapphire glass, boasts a resolution of 2.33 million dots, ensuring a sharp and clear display. The shutter speed range spans from 1/4000 s to an extensive 60 minutes, offering unparalleled control over exposure. Additionally, the M11-P is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling seamless connectivity with smartphones.
Constructed from durable magnesium alloy, the M11-P weighs 640g, including its lithium-ion battery. Remarkably, this battery yields up to 700 shots when utilizing the rangefinder (meeting CIPA standards) and up to 1700 shots in Leica’s optimized mode.
