Leica Monochrome M9 and Compact X1 presented

As long speculated on the internet, now has a new Leica rangefinder camera M series introduced a little surprising but also a compact camera for purists who equipped with a fixed focal length X1. A worldwide live video webcast of the presentation, however, turned to disaster: The proudly 15,000 spectators were sure only a small fraction of people interested, that the rest of the Lexica-only server timeout errors due to overloading.

Leica M9
The M9 is currently the most compact camera with a CCD image sensor in the small format (24 × 36 mm "full frame") - the package dimensions have been compared to the M8 and M8.2 not changed (139 × 37 × 80 mm). Nor is the purely manual focus, but it can be done by the rangefinder principle very accurately and conveniently, even in miserable lighting conditions. According to Leica, the 18-megapixel sensor was developed specifically for the M9, its sensitivity ranges from ISO 80 to ISO 2500 promises, Leica, even in the higher settings very low noise and finely detailed image results.

The image sensor of the M9 specially designed micro lenses come with a low refractive index are used. These are at the edges of the image center moved and adapted to the characteristics of M lenses: They should also focus oblique rays and prevent vegetating (reduction in image brightness at the edge). The current M lenses with a 6-bit encoding (retrofit) on the bayonet mount, which is scanned optically by the M9. If desired, the M9 uses this information to compensate for an inherent.

A Moiré filter (LPF) which filters out fine image detail visually, was omitted as the predecessor models, the resolution of M lenses to full capacity. Any moiré patterns are instead eliminated during digital signal processing of the camera. The camera features a new, microprocessor-controlled and silent-blade slotted shutter enables shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 second. The short flash synchronization speed of 1/180 second allows daylight flash pictures with selective sharpness. Interesting is the light measurement procedure as before the first shutter curtain of the shutter blades the mean reflected light

The 2.5 "display is the high standard of the brand is not quite fair. Are 230,000 pixels on the grid - Leica should count as the industry standard in sub-pixels, the resolution would be on level compact camera Elsewhere one finds already display with 460,000 920 000 or even sub-pixels (full VGA resolution).
The camera stores its images on SD / SDHC cards. Adobe Photoshop Light room, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows is included. Light room provides extensive functionality for managing, processing and presentation of digital images, regardless of whether they were in space-saving JPG or raw data in DNG format. In the latter remain from the image sensor with 14 bit resolution per channel color information obtained by continuously until the issue.

Top plate and bottom plate of M9 are machined from solid brass blocks, resulting in the typical Leica "haptics" contributes the remainder of the housing consists of a magnesium alloy. The M9 is now available in two versions: black painted or steel-gray, with slightly different. The suggested retail price Leica X1

The Lexica X1 is equipped with a CMOS image sensor with 12 megapixels in APS-C format, as it does in many SLR cameras are used. As an Elmarit Lens 1:2.8 / 24 mm is permanently installed, which gives the same angle of view as a 36mm lens on a film camera (slightly wide). The sensor sensitivity reaches up to ISO 3200.

As a monitor of visitors without camera (a viewfinder is sold separately) is a 2.7 "LCD is used, which dissolves 230 000 sub-pixels (QVGA). The X1 features a retractable flash that can be ignited with longer exposure times on the second shutter curtain can. more power can be used via the hot shoe of the Leica system flashes SF 24D and SF 58th aperture and shutter speed can be on dials on the top of the camera to adjust it manually, which apparently is the ring on the lens but only ornamentation.
