The Leica M is heir apparent to the Leica M9. From this point forward, Leica is ditching the number system and simply calling new models the Leica M.
The Leica M features a 24MP full frame sensor and captures 1080/24p video. The M offers a 3-inch, 920k-dot res LCD with Corning Gorilla Glass to add to the robust build. In addition to video capture, this is the first M-model to sport live view on the LCD, as well as focus peaking.
The Leica M should be available in early 2013 for $6950. Check availability here at B&H Photo.
