That last point about people arguing over cameras is so spot on man. I see it all the time on places like YT and Reddit. Folks arguing over what brand of camera is best, or why Leica users are 'stupid' for spending more money on cameras with less features. They're little boxes that take pictures and people are behaving like its life or death stuff. Just let people enjoy what they enjoy and stop being so damn miserable. 😄

Hit "like" just for the "It's not going to make you a better photographer!" I am always interested in cameras, I started watching just for the curiosity (I must admit I was intrigued to hear about the pricing) -- but that statement put the cherry on the topping of interesting information you offer! Bra-vo!

Love the video Broski!!! Lotta info on it

It feels like it's shot in the past. Man, you don't age Matt, looking great!
As for the Leica, I have never been at the place to justify the purchase with those price tags. Especially for hobbyist like me.. But one can dream.

Feed is full of M11 videos from release this morning but was waiting for this one 😄

You‘re absolutely right, especially with the last part. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to you as always. Keep up the great work. Wishing you and your family all the best. Greetings from Germany!

My subscription list was full of these reviews today, but yours is the only one I watched. Legit.

2022 might just be the year I finally purchase my first M. I had my mind set on buying an M10-P second-hand or on sale, but you’re making a very strong case for the M11. I especially love the USB-C for both charging AND data transfer. That sounds perfect for a camera that I’m going to take everywhere along with my phone/tablet.

Held off on watching any other m11 vid till this was live. Worth it 🤘🏼

Seems like a great camera. FWIW, I’ve been shooting a color M9 and an M9 Mono for over 10 years now and still use them as my regular cameras, especially the Mono. I may jump to the M11 someday, but I’m pretty pleased w what I’ve got. Also, unless I’m completely misunderstanding this multi-resolution raw files are nothing new. Both my Canon 5DsR and Canon 6D allow multi resolution raw files, ie, pixel binning. This works especially well w the 5DsR as a slightly noisy 50mpx image will be saved as a 26mpx image w far less noise.

Glad you were one of the folks who has had a chance to use one, too! I appriciate your thoughts.

You always friggin’ kill it with everything you do Matt! Will always support your channel. Just. WOW.

Love the comment about getting a life vs. arguing in the comments. So true. One personal observation on a camera making you a better photographer - when I went from a Canon 5DIII to M-P240 it was initially frustrating (the focusing mainly) but with time I realized it made me more intentional in my photography, which I think made me a better photographer. I feel like anything that makes you stop and think vs setting it on A or P is a good thing.

I do love the crisp and clean look of the on screen menu system.

[azzalos]

Out of all channels, I love yours the most when it comes to reviews. The filming, editing, voice, all of it. That doesn’t mean you should do more though because you tempt me 😂

[BusStopBourbon]

I've started a niche wedding business where I charge a premium to take only candid photos thought the day. The couple says I'm a family member and I can focus on shooting and not directing or spending time on family photos etc. I really like the idea of using minimal gear that's under the radar. I think having the internal storage for medium jpeg backup is brilliant. Pretty pumped for this camera.

[riswanc]

I’m with you matt! Ilford… keep watching.. please

[major_organ]

Really was waiting for this video from you! Especially as i’m considering on getting my first film M this year! it’s so interesting (and important to me) to see Leica honor it’s past, but more importantly push itself with every iteration. The small advancements really add up in the final product

[WhoIsSerafin]

Even though I would never get a Leica, except for my Leica 25mm for m4/3 I do appreciate that new cameras with innovative ideas are still coming out in this evil battle with phones.

[moodyrcf]

that resolution choice and internal storage has been in my wishlist for a very very long time. hoping every other camera manufacturer learns from leica.
