Yes, you read it correctly. I am writing about my 42MP Leica M 240, and, yes, I know that a Leica M 240 has a 24MP sensor. The main reason I purchased my Sony A7rII was so I could use my Leica M lenses on a 42MP camera with an adapter in order to achieve very high resolution images for making extremely large prints -- prints capable of going to a 6-8' width. What I discovered in the process was that I could use by Leica M at 42MP and achieve even better results.
By Sean Reid of Reid Reviews Before I begin this, I should explain that I have been beta-testing the Leica SL (which was code-named “Max”) since August of this year. I’ve worked with both pre-production and production level versions of the body with the n
The key thing to understand about the SL is that it is intended to be the market’s first full-on professional 35 mm format digital camera with an electronic finder
I put together a list of quotes from different online reviews that should give you a pretty good feedback on the new Leica SL Typ 601 camera (of course you should start with our own review first): "The SL system has been in discussion for 3 and a half yea

The inevitable comparison, like it or not, is going to be with the Sony A7RII. Even though the SL is more than twice the price of the A7RII, these appear to be natural-born competitors. When it comes to a battle of the specs, there really isn’t one

Better and bigger and more most and more minimal the new SL promises to be, as well. Bigger cost, more prestige, simpler, and above all, art.
Big news in the camera industry today: Leica has just announced the Leica SL, an entirely new mirrorless camera system that competes directly against the
Three lenses have been announced for the new system so far: a Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 will be launched with the camera. A Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90–280mm f/2.8–4 will arrive in early 2016, and a Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 will hit the market in late 2016.
The SL features a 24-megapixel full frame sensor similar to the one found in the Leica Q. It offers a native ISO range of 100-50,000 and has no optical low pass filter to coax out that much more sharpness.
Today Leica announced a new mirrorless full frame camera called SL Typ 601. This announcement should not be a surprise to regular LeicaRumors readers because the basic information was already posted on the blog here, here and here months before SL rumors

A New S Takes Center Stage Unveiled at Photokina 2014 in September of that year, Leica S(007) availability was announced almost a year later, on August 25, 2015. That’s a long gestation period. This is the third generation Leica S, joining the S2 of 2009
When it comes to build quality, the Leica S is a dream. It feels as if it was carved from a solid block of Unobtainium. Fit and finish are first rate, and, as with an S Class Mercedes, commensurate with its price. The Leica S(007) sells at B&H and has an announced price of $16,900.

The Leica Q Typ 116 Review: The Future of German Camera Engineering by Louis Ferreira http://500px.com/LouisFerreira We have a lot to discuss. So if you are looking for a summary, the Leica Q brings together the best aspects of German and Japanese enginee
We have a lot to discuss. So if you are looking for a summary, the Leica Q brings together the best aspects of German and Japanese engineering perfectly for the first time. I wouldn't say the camera is for everyone and it isn't perfect yet, but it's the best modern autofocus camera we have seen from Leica and the best fixed lens autofocus camera on the market as of 2015.
An in-depth and hands-on review of the Leica Q (Type 116) camera released on June 10, 2015.
We have to admit, we're rather smitten with the Leica Q. It's compact and handy, has both the aesthetics and intuitiveness of an M camera and adds (essential) modern features like auto focus and an EVF. The latter wouldn't be worthwhile if they didn't perform, and we're pleased to say that they do - and rather well at that. The feel in hand and build quality, it goes without saying, is true to Leica. The camera is sublime; it's all metal and the controls are crisp and precise. It's nimble to shoot with the new function and zoom buttons available.
