Based on a Kodak KAF-18500 CCD image sensor with approximately the same size as a frame of 35mm film, the Leica M9 takes the crown as the smallest full-frame digital camera, announced in early September 2009. For the area of the larger sensor, which eliminates the problem of vignetting with wide-angle lenses, Kodak has used a micro-lens offset design. Impressive change in APS-H size of the old Leica M8 and M8.2 models for the largest 35 mm sensor of the M9, with little difference was to change the size of the camera Magnesium alloy and The brass body is achieved through with faux leather trim. Thank you to its large surface of Kodak KAF-18500 sensor 6.8μm pixel at the same distance, but with a higher resolution megapixel eighteen, against the last ten megapixel cameras. Noise performance has improved since the latest generation of cameras, and Leica M9 has a thicker and more efficient IR filter, the need for additional IR filter lens denies.
The Leica M9 accepts most Leica M lenses built to date, and with the full-frame sensor, these glasses offer the same visual field as they did with a body 35 mm camera traditional film. Leica has chosen not to a low-pass filter in the design of the M9, which contained a maximum resolution of lenses attached, but require image processing to automatically detect and eliminate moiré. The M9 is equipped to play the 6-bit coding of Leica, so that the camera lens to identify the current and is not correct for the acceptance angle of the probe remains unresolved offset microlenses .
As the first Leica M8.2 M9 using a metal blade quiet shutter design in a split position with a shutter speed of 1 / 4000 to 32 seconds, plus a bulb mode indefinitely. The ISO range 80-2500 equivalents include the exposure automatically or manually, and center-weighted. As you can imagine a rangefinder camera, there is no capacity for self-focus. In addition to his rangefinder Leica M9 includes a 2.5 "display with 230,000 pixels LCD. The small top panel LCD info for the design found by the M8 and M9 M8.2 was abandoned, though.
The Leica M9 stores images on Secure Digital, SDHC, including the types of increased capacity. The images are both DNG RAW files or JPEG files are recorded, and the M9 now has two options in the uncompressed and compressed DNG. Power comes with a V 3.7, 1900 mAh lithium-ion. The M9 has only USB 2.0 high speed data connectivity, do not output video from the camera.
The price for the Leica M9 is the order of U.S. $ 7000 and available on the U.S. market is the middle of September 2009.
