"The camera sports a 10.2 megapixel sensor, the second highest in Leica’s lineup right behind the flagship M8. The sensor is somewhat unusual in that the sensor has a 16:9 dimensions (to allow capture of 16:9 aspect ratio images). In addition to the full resolution 16:9 format, you can choose two other aspect ratios: 4:3 which is standard (7.5MP), or 3:2 (Leica format) which is 8.5MP. The lens is a fantastic all glass Leica DC Vario-Elmarit optical zoom lens. f2.8-f4.9/6.3-25.2mm (28-112 mm - 35mm equivalent) in 16:9 mode (34-136 mm in 4:3 mode)" Read this review here:
