The Leica Q2 Reporter camera release today pretty much eliminated any potential Leica M11 camera announcement before the end of the year.
In addition, I also received some reliable information that the new Leica M11 camera will be officially announced in January, 20122.
The picture above is taken from the new Leica M11 Facebook Group.
Here is the updated list of rumored Leica M11 specifications:
- New 60MP sensor (variable resolution in RAW: 50MP/36MP/15MP)
- No baseplate (setup like the Leica Q2)
- 64GB internal memory
- No IBIS
- Tethering support
- The focus button moved to the top
- USB-C support
- Wi-Fi (5GHz/2.4GHz), Bluetooth support
- New Leica BP-SCL7 battery
- New Leica BC-SCL7 charger
- A new Visoflex is expected that should also be compatible with current Leica M10 models
- The Leica M11 camera is most likely be the already registered Leica model 2416
- The M11 should be a substantial step forward from the current M10 models (not sure about the details and what exactly this means)
- The official announcement is coming soon
- The Leica M10, M10P, and Leica M10D cameras are already discontinued: check Adorama and B&H for availability
- A new Leica M camera with a built-in EVF is still a possibility
- The M11 has been registered as a trademark by Leica since 2012
- The official announcement is expected in January 2022
The Leica M11 camera is rumored to have 64GB internal memory
