ack in 2014, the century-old camera manufacturer Leica released a mirrorless camera, the Leica T, a continuation of the company’s digital camera pioneer, the Leica M.
Despite the money spent on it by the company, the camera received not-so-positive reviews from users, who argued that the costly price of the camera did not match up to the quality of service that it provided.
This November, the company is set to release Leica TL, a revamped version of Leica T.
As reported by dailysocial.id, TL has a very similar exterior design with T, such as its full aluminum body and 3.7 inch touchscreen.
However, the quality of the lens is slightly upgraded. It will now have 16.5 megapixels in size (previously 16 megapixels) and will come with an APS-C sensor and a 1080p full HD video recording ability.
It also boasts an autofocus feature that the company claims is “fast and precise”.

Another upgrade is in connectivity, as Leica TL can be connected to both Android and iOS through a Wi-Fi connection. It also has more built-in memory, starting from 16GB to 32GB.
The camera is set to be released this November at a price of US$1,695 (body only) in three color variants: black, silver and titanium.
Leica provides six types of additional lenses compatible with the TL camera, but users can also opt to use their previous lenses, dailysocial.id has noted. (mas/kes)
