Is this the Zenit D1 mirrorless camera based on the Leica SL? *UPDATE: fake picture*

By LR admin | Published: March 26, 2018


PhotoRumors published a picture of what appears to be the upcoming Zenit D1 mirrorless camera that was rumored to be designed together with Leica. The only known specifications are 42.4MP BSI CMOS sensor without AA filter with 50-25,600 ISO range. The official announcement should be in the next few days.

I am still not 100% sure the leaked picture is legit, but the design looks very similar to the Leica SL.

Here are the fake pictures of the Zenit D1 mirrorless camera:
