Popular Post jonoslack Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 1, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) HI There I thought I would try and get a proper handle on the differences here, so 1. Fully charge battery 2. Switch off all power saving 3. Switch off screen (no EVF) 2. Take 50 photos 3. wait 30 minutes 4. take 50 photos 5 wait 30 minutes 6 Repeat until battery dies. M10 lasted for 4 hours 10 minutes and I took 451 very boring photos M11 lasted for 6. hours 30 minutes and I took 703 equally boring photos. Noticeable that the M10 got quite a lot hotter than the M11 Is this useful? Probably not 😂 All the best Jono 7 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephan54 Posted February 1, 2022 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2022 Very useful for those that like to take very boring photos. Can you do the same for interesting ones? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little disappointed, Jono. I would have expected that a reviewer as thorough as you would publish all 1154 shots so that we could judge for ourselves. 😁 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 1, 2022 I wonder what the result would be on the M262? Can someone else try it though as its a bit boring🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M11 for me Posted February 1, 2022 Share #9 Posted February 1, 2022 Would be great if there would be some information about effects of below zero ( C ) temperatures. My impression (feeling) is that the M11 battery is much more resistant to cold. Can that be confirmed by someone? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea if these numbers would be the same with the M10-R? How hot did the M10 get? I've heard that the camera can get quite hot when in live view and maybe even freeze. Didn't know it was also the case when not using live view. Edited February 1, 2022 by Jacobjuul clarification Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any idea if these numbers would be the same with the M10-R? From my experience moving from the 10 to 10-R, I'd suspect that it'd be down by perhaps 10% or so (assuming this wasn't a 10-R to begin with). One thing I'd add is that if one shoots in LV, the disparity would be far greater. I rarely could exceed 220-240 shots with the 10-R in LV. So far, after 150 or so, the 11 shows around 70% remaining, so probably around the 450-500 mark. Edited February 1, 2022 by Tailwagger 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmars Posted February 1, 2022 Share #14 Posted February 1, 2022 1. It is good that the camera gets hot. This means that the heat is away from the sensor. 2. The M11 has about 65 % more capacity. So the results of Jono are in the expectable range. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmars Posted February 1, 2022 Share #15 Posted February 1, 2022 As I wrote elsewere: The M11 needs about 10 to 15 % power per Hour for just being on. Shooting takes little power. That makes a battery lasting 7 to 8 hours steady being on. In practical use this is mostly a whole shooting day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feeling exactly Elmar I've never run a battery flat in a day (except in this test). The good performance of the M10 is a bit misleading as there was no live view, no chimping . . whereas the M11 is in live view all the time, and shooting with an EVF won't make much difference to these figures. Definitely a tick for the new camera 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2022 Share #17 Posted February 2, 2022 For me battery life is very important despite people saying its easy to carry spares and manufacturers telling us its all good with crap battery life. Minolta x-700 4 months leica m 262 1 week [ plenty of use] mamiya c330 forever olympus pen digital 57 minutes!! sharp lenses though!! The best thing about the M11 for me is the battery life improvement over the M10 and i love my M262's battery life,its great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a tick for the new camera I can only imagine what that battery life would look like if the M11 didn’t have to be in LV all the time.Please Leica give us the option to shoot meterless in full rangefinder mode without the need to have LV on (fingers crossed). I’d happily shoot Sunny F16 if that meant double the battery. And thank you for the comparison, this was really useful to know:) Edited February 2, 2022 by shirubadanieru 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
