By high, we're referring to resolution here. The Leica M10-R rocks the highest resolution color image sensor of the M10 series to date, at 40-megapixels, and takes its rightful place as the M10 family flagship.

We first clocked eyes on a pre-production version of the S3 at Photokina 2018, and were pretty impressed during our very brief hands-on. Now Leica has officially launched the 64-megapixel medium format flagship, and as we predicted, it's not cheap.

Cameras sporting the iconic red Leica logo are rugged, expensive and much sought after. They also produce stunning images, rich in color and detail. But there's no red dot on the just-announced M10 Monochrom, and it only shoots in black and white.

360-degree cameras are the action cams of the future – and Insta360 has found a way to combine their amazing capabilities with a more traditional GoPro-style setup for monster image quality. Meet the modular Insta360 One R, co-designed with Leica.

Leica announced the SL full-frame mirrorless camera way back in 2015, and it looked like an eye-popper. Now the iconic red dot has been slapped on a 2nd gen model, which looks pretty much the same on the outside but gets major upgrades on the inside.

Yuneec has announced the Typhoon H3 featuring an ION L1 Pro camera, which represents the first product from a new collaboration with Leica Camera AG.

​Leica has announced a successor to the Q street shooter from 2015. The appropriately-named Q2 boasts a 47 megapixel full-frame sensor, can record 4K video and comes ready for use in all kinds of weather.

High-end German camera firm Leica has added a new compact to its D-Lux line. The D-Lux 7 sports a 4/3 sensor, 24 - 75 mm zoom lens, a touchscreen display as well as a high resolution EVF, and is capable of recording 4K video.

​With the M10-D, Leica is attempting to give photographers an old school analog/film camera feel, driven by modern digital technology. As there's no LCD panel around back, users will need to use a mobile app to display snapped images on a smartphone screen.​

There's no place better in the world than Photokina if you want to completely drown yourself in the equipment, culture and business of photography. We spent a couple of days putting together this giant gallery to give you a sense of what the world's biggest camera nerd expo is all about.

For the price of a year-long backpacking trip around the world, you can now own the fastest-ever 75mm aspherical lens. Leica's new Noctilux-M 75mm f/1.25 is a US$13,000 piece of glass with a monster aperture and a razor-thin depth of field to deliver dreamy out-of-focus bokeh.

​If Leica's TL2 compact looks just a bit too modern for you, the company has dipped into the retro design cabinet and launched the undeniably stylish CL. It's technically identical to the TL2, but stands apart in terms of handling and aesthetics.​
