The Leica M (Typ 240) rigorously adheres to the philosophy of the M-System. It is a milestone that points the way to the future. The Leica M reaps the benefits of more than 60 years of experience with the M rangefinder system. At the same time, it exploits forward-looking digital technologies: it features a high-resolution, fullformat CMOS sensor that, in combination with its high-performance processor and the legendary M-lenses, delivers outstanding imaging results - typical of M-Cameras. But with Live View, video, and additional focusing methods, it is also the M for photographers that do not want to miss out on any of the benefits of modern digital technology and is equipped with a larger battery than the M10. The M (Typ 240) successfully expands the scope of the M-System while remaining true to its fundamental heritage and principles.
