Leica M60, introduced at Photokina 2014 in Köln, Germany is a digital full frame camera promised to bring back to users the experience of classic photography. The idea driving Leica’s M60 is magnificent as it aims at bringing back to users of digital cameras the main principles of classic photography using pure manual control.
The most important and striking feature of Leica M60 is a modern digital camera with no rear LCD and hence the inability to instantly correct one’s thoughtless point and shoot photography with the next shoot. One can argue that a modern digital camera without an LCD and only manual control will contribute to making the cycle of composition to taking the final picture a more thoughtful process. Thus, we get what has always went into taking a picture with a classic film camera. Internally the M60 is based on Leica’s modern censor technology and image processing unite, namely, the technology that drives Leica Type 240.
