The Leica M-D (Typ 262) is a 24MP full-frame rangefinder camera. Key features include:

24MP Leica MAX Full-Frame CMOS Sensor. This sensor provides extremely high image quality that takes advantage of the best of the Leica M-mount lenses. The combination of the CMOS image sensor and Maestro Image Processor provides greatly improved ISO performance over previous generation’s CCD sensor. The M-D shoots up to 3 fps in continuous mode, with the 1 GB of built-in RAM enabling up to 8 frames before image capture slows.

Minimalist Design. The M-D Typ 262 strips away all the superfluous bells and whistles, giving you the simple photographic experience. There are physical controls for ISO, shutter, and mode. Speaking of modes, there are two: manual and aperture priority. There’s no video mode or live view mode because this camera doesn’t have an LCD.

Optical Viewfinder and Rangefinder. The large, bright-line rangefinder-coupled viewfinder provides 0.68x magnification with automatic parallax compensation and LED-illuminated frame lines. The automatic image field limiter uses pairs of bright lines depending on the lens attached: 35mm and 135mm, 28mm and 90mm, or 50mm and 75mm.
