The Leica M-D is expected to come without the company’s famous red dot, which is usually placed in the front of the camera. Additionally, there will be no LCD screen on the back instead there will only be an ISO sensitivity dial.

The new Leica M-D camera will be a mass-production version of the M Edition 60 so the specs above makes sense for the upcoming model. On the other hand the M Edition 60 has price tag around $16,000. The M-D version should be much more cheaper.
