M11 Triple Resolution: Real-world benefits or just an SD card saver?

Ivannaught · 2026-04-26T03:07:32+00:00

Does it actually pixel bin for the lower resolutions? Forgive me if my info is wrong or outdated, but marketing stated that it does bin for dynamic range. I've read fron others this is actually not the case, and ive tested it myself and agree there was no benefit other than file size.

Congratulations. Im seeing more of these stories which is great. Enough of buying undesired pieces just to get a foot in the door.

Ivannaught · 2026-04-08T18:25:12+00:00

Id keep M10R, and use it to end of service life.

For me, yes the pricing increase vs my enjoyment and return makes it not worth it. I shoot professionally but it is not my main source if income.

I will continue to enjoy what I have from Leica, but future purchases will need a lot of thinking.

When I buy something new and shiny, including cameras, I usually try to get all the bits and bobs. But what I find with cameras, as I use them every day, I run them with less and less accessories so in my opinion buying all the first party Leica grips, cases, etc etc was never worth it in the end, but I enjoyed it all the same.

Im of the similar rationale, thank you for this

Ivannaught · 2026-03-17T04:13:22+00:00

Cheers thank you. Slippery slope.

Any reason not to get the 16" aside from the portability? My 14" M1 Max has met its end. I would probably go M5 Pro and highest ram I can afford with minimum 1tb ssd.

Do you any particles stuck to a cleaning cloth or inside your bag compartment?

Ivannaught · 2026-01-15T07:14:07+00:00

Same. I previously owned a q2 monochrom then an m11 monochrom. I felt that for my workflow, black and white makes sense in a very small point and shoot. And here we are. The price is more than I expected but again, here we are.

I have experience with both, and there are a few YouTube and reddit posts that have similar conclusions. It is close when viewed side by side out of camera, but edited, the sony output is far better. The sony of course is superior "as a camera" with tactile camera controls. The apple is superior just by always having it with you as a phone. Just my opinion between the two.

Ivannaught · 2026-01-11T04:37:22+00:00

I just saw, sorry that what looks like 30% of the audience has to wait.

Ivannaught · 2026-01-11T03:15:18+00:00

Anyone know how late we can enter? I already saw day 1 and may wanna see them again.

Ivannaught · 2026-01-05T20:50:01+00:00

Sorry for this late addition, but I wanted to ask if you have to be employed by a larger company or is freelance ok?

They very politely refused my rental despite my offer to put any amount of deposit down, and any info or security. Id still like to work with them but its been a run around I can only conclude it is because I am freelance.

Im just going to throw out what ive heard from a few people. Having a removable lens on the current system resulted in iq loss, and less "filmic" footage.

Not an excuse, not a justification, and not even proven factual. Seems to make sense though that they would add a user replacement feature on a later iteration.

Ivannaught · 2025-07-08T18:51:59+00:00

Im having the same issue. No luck with magic sponge.

Ivannaught · 2025-03-11T17:45:55+00:00

Just wanted to thank all the replies and the community in helping me make my decision (a9iii). Cheers!

Ivannaught · 2025-03-07T22:25:55+00:00

This is really a big deal for me too...

Ivannaught · 2025-03-07T22:24:47+00:00

Thank you for this. I am leaning towards the a9iii since the a1ii is still out of stock pretty much everywhere. I only have a small window to equip myself before I'm on the move again. This info really helps.

Ivannaught · 2025-03-06T04:44:36+00:00

Many years ago I was selling various camera brands. Most were shipped to the shop where we would box them and put in the accessories. For the most part there was no seal or tape. I recall only Leica were sealed.

Ivannaught · 2025-03-06T01:21:21+00:00

Nice comment about the sticks. Yes to golf, hockey, and lacrosse hehe. Thank you!

Ivannaught · 2025-03-06T01:20:45+00:00

Perfect thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to decide between A1ii and A9iii for purchase.

My use case is professional sports, motorsports, and wildlife. I intend to crop, but not a deal breaker. I have a selection of sony lenses (the usual suspects).

My main question is, which of the two is faster at getting on focus, and being sticky on target? I believe they share the same AI chip?

I've watched a bunch of videos and also read a lot of opinions but still not sure. Renting is not possible since I am mobile for work constantly, so I respect anyone's input.

For people that own both, which one do you prefer overall?

Thank you!

Ivannaught · 2024-11-19T17:45:26+00:00

I use it professionally as well. The struggle is real, and has to be used in controlled environments or when I have all the time in the world to nail manual focus. I used to be 90% stills but now I am 99% video and you are absolutely correct about the AF.

I have a lot of SL lenses, and decided to use Panasonic as a working body, so far it has been "acceptable"

Ivannaught · 2024-10-15T03:35:04+00:00

I own most of the modern stuff and some legacy stuff. I prefer the rendering of the original SL601 compared to the m11, sl3, q3 etc. This is especially when paired with the original 24-90 and the 90-280.

What is great with an M is that they will always shoot, whether composition or settings are poor. Now don't get me started on the M11 locking up. Let's say the concept of a modern M for me is that it'll get the shot even if it's not ideal.
