Leica made another LCD-less digital camera, and it’s $9,395.

Leica’s played this tune before, as the new M11-D is its fourth screen-less model. This time it’s essentially an M11-P that’s gone LCD-free, and it has the same 60-megapixel full-frame sensor and Content Credentials.

These cameras are about as niche as they are expensive. But remember when they cost over $3,000 less?

<em>Holding the thumbwheel dial for 12 seconds turns on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for connecting to the Leica Fotos app, and pairing is done by holding the function button on top for five seconds.</em>

The ISO dial is on the rear instead of the top-left shoulder like other M11 cameras, replacing the LCD in the process. Also of note is that the faux film advance lever of the M10-D has been done away with.

MiNT’s slick-looking $800 film camera is up for preorder.

The Rollei 35AF is inching closer to release, and photographers can now preorder one in chrome for $799 (or $828 for black).

It’s a new take on the original from 1966, with autofocus. Early adopters have until September 12th at 3AM GMT to preorder for the launch later this year.

New film cameras are just so hot right now.
