The Leica M-E (Typ 240) is a digital rangefinder camera announced by Leica Camera on June 24, 2019. The Leica M-E (Typ 240) is an 'entry-level' model in Leica's M mount of rangefinder cameras. It features a 24 Megapixels full-frame CMOS sensor (with a top ISO of 6400), Leica's Maestro processor, and a 2GB buffer for sustained burst capture. Video can be captured at 1080/30p.
