edwardkaraa Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1022 Posted September 22, 2015 Hi Late to the party, but if you were to put Jono Slack in to a corner, looking at his post in the Leica Meet Facebook page, you may have your answer . Just speculating like everyone else ? Mike Exactly. Add to that the interesting blurry photo posted by Dr. Kaufmann and his answer that he couldn't say what he knows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hey You Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1023 Posted September 22, 2015 If the Leica M Typ 240 is 24 megapixels, can we infer from Leica's naming convention that the Leica SL Typ 601 is 60 megapixels? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1024 Posted September 22, 2015 If the Leica Typ 240 is 24 megapixels, can we infer that the Leica SL Typ 601 is 60 megapixels? No. It is 60.1 megapixels. The 0.1 is crucial for it to have the 'Leica Glow'. Otherwise, it would be Typ 600 and a mere new Pentax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1025 Posted September 22, 2015 The name of the new system camera will be Leica SL If its performance lives up to its name I'll be very happy. My bank account is bracing for impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1026 Posted September 22, 2015 So, we're all reasonably confident there will be a new full frame AF system camera in the next month or so. There's only so much we can speculate about till we see what is on offer. In that context, what will the new M look like? I doubt very much the camera will go backwards from the M(240), which will presumably continue as the next iteration of the M-E along with the Monochrom version. So, the new M? I also don't see it getting tanner, or Leica discontinuing the accessories they offer - same battery etc. What about these: Better EVF - I don't buy the new rangefinder mechanism for a minute. It will continue to use the excellent upgrade of the optical view finder New sensor from Tower - more MP? Not sure why. Better dynamic range and high ISO performance Better video with 4K and audio jack? New processor Burst rates New body design, leaving the baseplate behind New EVF, with the ability to upgrade (I think this was a scandal - Nikon made cameras which would take all its legacy lenses, and Leica didn't foresee that a better EVF might become available while people still wanted to continue to use their M(240)s) Exactly how will the M be improved, other than being able to reprogramme the video button? I'd be very surprised if they offer a production version of the Edition 60, but this is Leica we're talking about - if they offered a thread mount for the shutter release and the ability to clip on the EVF, it might gain some acceptance.

lct Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1027 Posted September 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you much. I can't seem to read the Excel file sorry. Apart from the name "Leica SL (Type 601)" and that of the li-ion battery ("BP-SCL4") did you get any information about this camera? Just curious. Yes we do. As I wrote in my first message, we have: - the Russian certification from mid-August: http://novocert.ru/Documents/Document.aspx?Id=4797373 - an excerpt from the Chinese certification: http://www.miit.gov.cn/n11293472/n11293832/n12845605/n13916943/n16832483.files/n16832455.xls (see line 1061) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturephoto1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1028 Posted September 22, 2015 If its performance lives up to its name I'll be very happy. My bank account is bracing for impact. I suspect that my bank account may not be able to afford the camera if the cost is $8,ooo with a 50mm Summicron lens included in the price.

luigi bertolotti Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1029 Posted September 22, 2015 There is space for a "new M" ... to frame through OVF I think is a feel still hard to renonce definitely... the obvious development are in the sensor (if they have one new, the "Tower", on the new EVIL-SL, probably it can be adapted to M specs via a proper microlenses'set) and in the EVF; I am curios to see if they will implement the new "electronic assisted RF" that has been speculated...

Mistral75 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1035 Posted September 22, 2015 'SL' is both: - a reference to the Leicaflex SL, i.e a 24x36 camera with a viewfinder on top (think Fujifilm X-T1 or Olympus OM-D E-M1) - a reference to SLR: its a SL non R, a Single Lens camera (i.e. a system camera) which is not a Reflex, i.e. a mirrorless camera with an EVF - an S 'leicht' , a baby S, a S with a smaller, 24x36 sensor.

Medium format? That would be very hard to believe that Leica would introduce a new model in the S medium format segment. But a 35 mm FF camera with AF makes sense if it has some outstanding feature(s) compared to competitors. As it looks now, that something special might be a 60 MP sensor.

I just don't get the naming format. A 60MP sensor would be interesting esp. in a Mirrorless. I would be so excited about buying into a new lens collection though.

Mistral75 Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1039 Posted September 22, 2015 If the Leica M Typ 240 is 24 megapixels, can we infer from Leica's naming convention that the Leica SL Typ 601 is 60 megapixels? Can we further infer that the Leica S Typ 007 has a 0.07 Mpix sensor? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted September 22, 2015 Share #1040 Posted September 22, 2015 If the Leica M Typ 240 is 24 megapixels, can we infer from Leica's naming convention that the Leica SL Typ 601 is 60 megapixels? Quite obviously we cannot as the Typ number of a Leica camera is in no way related to the number of megapixels. Draw up a graph with the Typ numbers on one axis and the number of megapixels on the other and see for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
