Leica M video test by Johnnie Behiri.
Leica’s first full frame HDSLR – is the M240 video capable? from Johnnie Behiri on Vimeo.
Johnnie Behiri has no good words when it comes to talk about the Leica M video quality:
“Spending a day with the camera left me wondering, was Leica ever talking to any professional cameraman before implementing HD recording for this unit or just decided to “join a trend” without really meaning this camera to be a capable working video tool?.
To my opinion, the video quality coming out of the camera is very disappointing and its operation in video mode is nothing but easy/logical. I hope features/video quality can be enhance with a firmware update.“
That said it’s obvious Leica don’t bother about video. This is definitely a photographers camera and I doubt Leica will veer have serious intentions to compete in the hybrid foto-video camera world!.
