M EV1 overview
The Leica M EV1 is a 60.3 MP full-frame rangefinder for Leica M, announced by Leica in October 2025.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light as well as landscape and detail. It is a weaker pick for slow handheld shots with unstabilised lenses, all-day shooting on one battery and paid jobs that need a backup card.
No store we track in the United Kingdom lists it today. It is listed in the United States, Europe, Australia and Singapore. It launched at £6,840 (body only).
Worth comparing it with the Leica M11, Leica M11-P and Leica Q3.

Low light & noise
3.8 µm pixels
60.3 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 50,000
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
- Photons to Photos: dynamic range vs ISO ↗Photographic dynamic range measured at every ISO, bodies on one chart
- Photons to Photos: noise vs ISO ↗Read noise at every ISO from lab tests: lower is cleaner in the shadows
- DPReview studio scene ↗The same scene shot by each camera at the ISO you pick, side by side
- DPReview reviews ↗Full reviews with high-ISO samples
- Low-light video tests ↗Real-world high-ISO footage on YouTube
How it stacks up
- 60.3 MP — more resolution than 56% of the full frame rangefinder cameras we list
