The Leica T is a gorgeous camera with a massive capacitative touchscreen and a revolutionary interface that is completely different from the interfaces commonly seen in cameras. The interface makes navigating through the device similar to browsing through a smartphone. The Leica T does away with menu lists, opting for an icon-based interface. Settings and options look more like apps rather than items on a drop-down list, making this camera hugely intuitive and easy to use.
The Leica T has a 16 megapixel APS-C sensor and a brand new âTâ lense mount. It shoots 1920 x 1080 video at 30 frames per second, and is equipped with WiFi and GPS for improved connectivity.
This beautifully engineered camera is chiseled out of a single block of aluminum, and will cost around $2,000 once it hits the market.
