The Leica M11 is rumored to feature a new 50MP sensor with variable resolution – and it's new components like this that could account for the potential delay until next year, as it appears that Leica is struggling with the same component crisis as most other manufacturers. UPDATE (): It looks like the Leica M11, previously reported to be released with a marketing-friendly 11/11 announcement, might be delayed until 2022. The Leica M10-D is available to pre-order now for $7,995 and shipping starts in a few days.The Leica M11 (left) compared to the Leica M10-R (Image credit: Leica Rumors) I’m really curious now to see how the Pixii’s final specs and price will compare to this once they’re announced. And power to them, but it’s definitely not for me. They’ll pay whatever they need to pay to get their hands on what they want.

Of course, for some, especially Leica owners, price is no object. In fact, it’s as high as the M10-P, with the M10-D also sitting at $7,995. But removing the LCD completely doesn’t bring that M10 price down at all. The added touchscreen LCD and quieter shutter on the M10-P bring that price up to $7,995. Leica says that they expect the usage to be quite sporadic, rather than regularly monitoring what you shoot with your phone. Leaving WiFi on all the time in your camera with the phone constantly connected can a bit of a battery drain, though.

Except that you’ll be able to whip out your phone and actually have a look at what you’ve shot when you sit down at the local coffee shop for a break. But if you’ve been shooting Leica film rangefinders for years then it’ll just feel like business as usual, really. If you’re used to shooting digital, then this is going to be a big challenge for you. This isn’t the first LCDless camera that Leica has released, but it is the first with built-in WiFi. This basically replaces the LCD on the camera and communication between the two happens over WiFi. The idea is that you will use the phone in conjunction with the Leica Fotos smartphone app. As mentioned above, it has no LCD at all. Except this one doesn’t have a regular LCD or touchscreen LCD. It’s approximately the same camera as the Leica M10 and M10-P. It features a 24MP full frame sensor, flat black finish, and quiet shutter of the M10-P.
