In the past few months I have done multiple reports on the upcoming Zenit full-frame mirrorless digital camera (see previous Zenit coverage on LeicaRumors and PhotoRumors). We already know that Leica executives visited the Russian KMZ plant where the new Zenit camera will be produced and now we may even have some details on what exactly the new Zenit camera(s) will be:

The new Zenit D1 mirrorless full-frame digital camera could be a limited edition version based on the Leica M9. The Zenit D1 could launch with several new Zenitar lenses for Leica M-mount.

My understanding is that another Zenit D11 model will also be released, but the details are not clear.

The price of the new Zenit digital cameras are expected to be 30% lower than the corresponding Leica products.
