The Leica M EV1 internally replicates the sophisticated architecture of the M11, incorporating a full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology. This sensor allows photographers to shoot photographs at 60, 36, or 18 megapixels, providing versatility in optimizing resolution, file size, and dynamic range. The M EV1 also has support for Content Credentials, a feature intended to validate and maintain the integrity of digital photographs, demonstrating Leica’s dedication to innovation and trust in visual storytelling. The M EV1 integrates advanced imaging technology with the classic design of the M-System, serving as a nexus between tradition and modernity.

The Leica M EV1 will be globally accessible via Leica Stores, the official Leica website, and authorized dealers, priced at £6,840 GBP / $8,995 USD.
