Leica has officially revealed the M9 - a full frame version
of its M-mount rangefinder. The Leica M9, with its 24 x 36mm, 18 mega pixel
sensor is, according to the company: 'the world's smallest full-frame system
camera.' The body is available in a new 'Steel Gray' finish and offers minor
button re-arrangement over the M8 - all the major changes relate to the
internals.
The Kodak-developed CCD sensor features improved offset micro
lenses to optimize performance at the edges of the frame along with a sensor
cover with improved filtering of infrared light so lens-mounted IR filters are
no longer needed. Most importantly, the 35mm film-sized sensor means every
Leica M-mount lens provides the originally intended field of view.
The LEICA M9’s M-TTL flash technology enables both precise
and creative control over flash and mixed lighting effects. Prior to the actual
exposure, a measuring flash is emitted that is metered through the lens. The
flash power is then precisely determined according to the natural lighting
situation.
Due to the precise and delicate level of flash illumination, the natural lighting mood is maintained. In combination with aperture priority exposure mode, the auto-slow sync function ensures a particularly subtle lighting of the subject.

The LEICA M9 offers a special function for manual sensor
cleaning: selecting the appropriate item from the menu and pressing the shutter
release locks the shutter open to allow access to the sensor for cleaning
purposes. Thanks to the short register of Leica M cameras, the sensor is easier
to access than in a DSLR camera, where the sensor is located behind the mirror
box and shutter assembly.
