Everything has begun with Leica teasing a Mini M announcement for June 11. Just a few days after that, the company has opened the box where the camera was sitting, in order to allow the fans to take a peek at the upcoming product.

Things went even further when the alleged photo, specifications list, and the price of the shooter have all been leaked on the web. It has been said that the device will feature a 16-megapixel APS-C image sensor, fixed zoom lens, but no integrated viewfinder.

Leica opened the box a little more, but debunked the rumors

Just a couple of days after that, the Germany-based manufacturer updated its teaser page by opening the box a little more. Also, Leica started to claim that the rumors are not true and that consumers will find out the truth in stores on June 11, suggesting that the device’s release date is actually its announcement date.

Less than 24 hours ago, it was officially revealed by Leica that the Mini M will come packed with an image sensor larger than usual ones found in such small bodies.

Well, now the rumor mill has got the hang of an updated specs list, which contradicts what Leica is saying, but confirms the previous rumors.

According to inside information, the Mini M will be called Leica X Vario Type 107 and it will indeed feature an APS-C image sensor capable of capturing 16.5-megapixel images.

The new camera will also sport a Leica Vario Elmar 18-46mm f/3.5-6.4 lens, which provides a 35mm equivalent of 28-70mm. It is made out of nine elements, including  a pair of aspherical ones, split into eight groups. The lens will be able to focus at a distance of just 30 centimeters.

Leica X Vario Type 107 will be entirely made in Germany

Leica Mini M aka X Vario Type 107 measures 133 x 73 x 95 millimeters and weighs 679 grams with batteries included. It will be entirely manufactured in Germany and it will come in a bundle package along with Adobe Lightroom.

Its price tag stands at about €2,500, thus confirming the earlier rumors. In fact, all the previous details have been verified by the new leaks.

Either way, Leica continues to deny the claims. Everything may be just an elaborate hoax and the company may be behind these leaks, looking to stir people the wrong way. However, if this becomes true, then there will be a huge number of disappointed fans.
