Leica's 60MP L-Mount body. Machined build, IP54 sealing and access to Leica, Sigma and Panasonic lenses.
The first full-frame global-shutter camera: no rolling-shutter distortion at all, and 120fps bursts.
The slimmest digital M with a classic ISO dial. 24MP is plenty for most shooters and kinder to older M lenses.
Canon LP-E6P · maker's battery about £99
Higher-output version needed for full performance on the R5 Mark II and R6 Mark III; LP-E6NH still works with some limits. Third-party: Mathorn USB-C version £54. Carry at least one spare.
CFexpress B + SD (UHS-II)
Use a CFexpress Type B card of at least 1500MB/s in the main slot for RAW bursts and high-bitrate video; an SD card in the second slot suits backups.
