You are writing complete nonsense. M11 has a very bad white balance, even manual temperature setting does not solve the purple color issue. This is a Leica error and defect. Any Leica camera (m8 – m10) is better in color.

The main problem with the M11 is color. Lots of purple, bad auto white balance in daylight. In general, the M11 is the worst camera in color out of all the digital Leica cameras. Therefore, there should be only one piece of advice – buy a monochrome camera M11M to work with the excellent Leica lenses, but not the M11.

EVERY new M generation has comments like this! I laugh because I read similar comments when the M10 came out… “It’s not like the M9, or even M240,” “I returned mine,” blah blah blah.
If you don’t know how to set WB, then you can get magenta looking greys. This is user error, not camera error. Or if you are looking for SOOC JPEGs to post on Instagram, this is not the camera for you.

Aluminium top plate is not a decision to cut cost. I prefer the lighter weight. If you want brass, get the silver for the same price!
Packaging is just as great as the M240 and M10 – no idea what you are talking about here.

This is not true and not how it works. Thorsten Overgaard describes this in detail.
It’s lens resolving power X camera sensor resolving power. Both are < 1.
When you have more camera sensor MP, you are increasing the image quality, Regardless of lens used.
Obviously, using a lens with higher resolving power will give you better image quality; but it’s not correct to say that 60MP is “too much” for let’s say a classic lens.

Also, the sensor deterioration claim is complete nonsense.

Unfortunately for me, this camera did not live up to my expectations and was extremely disappointing.
The biggest problem is the color, this horrible magenta color that irritates my eyes! On a gray, overcast winter day, this camera makes the snow look pink. I understand that you can turn the sliders in each photo and get the right color in the photo, but why do I need a camera like this?
The cheapening of the camera design (lack of the usual metering mechanism, cheaper aluminum, lack of a bottom plate) and even the packaging shows that the new owners of the company began to value profit more than product quality.
The M10 generation will go down in history as the last true M…

The photos are undoubtedly excellent, perfectly capturing the atmosphere. You might want to try processing them further using some AI tools. Here’s a website with a good selection: https://topaigenerators.com/. Looking forward to your new achievements. Good luck!

But…”ultimate”? I do not think that word means what you think it means. I’m confident that Leica will make another.

Along with the nearly $4,500 Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 lens that Leica provided me, the colors and light that the M11 produced felt like the closest replication to what my eyes saw.
