Leica Unveils the M-E (Typ 240) Entry-Level M Rangefinder
Leica has just announced the new M-E (Typ 240) digital rangefinder camera. The camera is designed for newcomers to the M system, “making it the new entry-point of Leica M rangefinders.”
Each of the cameras is handcrafted in Germany. The body is resistant to spray water and dust, and the leather trim across the surface provides a safe grip.
The top and base brass plates of the camera feature an anthracite grey paint developed specifically for the M-E.
On the back of the camera is a 3-inch TFT display with 920,000 pixels and scratch-resistant glass.
In the area of video, the M-E (Typ 240) can capture 1080p Full HD. There’s a dedicated recording button that will be handy for users who often need to quickly switch over from still photos to video recording.
Other features of the camera include Wi-Fi, 3fps burst shooting, a <1-second startup time, a 1800mah rechargeable battery, and weight of 680g (24oz). 
The Leica M-E (Typ 240) will hit store shelves on July 25th, 2019, with a (relatively) low price tag of $3,995. It’ll come with a 2-year warranty.
