GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?

Rangefinder Enthusiasts & Collectors — Leica M11 (2022): 60MP of full-frame resolution in the thinnest digital M ever made — the M11 is the definitive expression of Leica's rangefinder tradition.

Documentary & Street — M11-P (2023): The M11-P is the M11 made more discreet and verifiable — all-black with no logo, and the world's first camera with Content Credentials built in. The same 60MP rangefinder brilliance as the M11, with added significance for documentary and journalistic work where image authenticity cannot be disputed.
