| Leica Camera AG announce the world's first digital rangefinder camera with a full-frame 24 x 36mm sensor. As the world's smallest full-frame system camera, the LEICA M9 continues the long heritage of the Leica rangefinder system, and unites more than 50 years of continuous technical improvements to the M System with cuttingedge digital technology.
A combination of a high-resolution image sensor, with the superior performance of Leica M lenses and sophisticated processing makes the camera perfect for all fields of photography from reportage and 'available light' to the capture of discreet, spontaneous images. With an 18 megapixel image sensor, specifically designed and developed for the M9 enabling capture of the full 35-mm film format without any compromise, all M lenses mounted on the LEICA M9 offer the same focal length as originally intended, and the enormous potential performance of the current M lens portfolio, with focal lengths from 16 to 135mm. |
