The Yi M1 however is a relatively compact mirrorless camera that comes in two color options namely Matte Black and Silver. To take advantage of its built-in connectivity, the Yi M1 is being designed hand-in-hand with an accompanying mobile application which will provide users with a distinct “Master Guide” tool, aimed at assisting photographers with taking full advantage of the camera and its features. Although this is not a most advanced camera with its specifications, the Xiaomi YI M1 Mirrorless Camera comes with the 20-megapixel sensor, a maximum ISO 25,600 sensitivity.
Chinese company Yi has announced a 20 megapixel Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera at the Photokina event now underway in Cologne, Germany. It is capable of shooting 4K videos and RAW images.
Harkening strongly to the Leica T design, this camera has a 3-inch LCD touchscreen where the back of the camera appears to have a minimalist 2-button design, according to renders that are doing the rounds.
This is featured with mechanical shutter and the quick continuous shooting.
The availability of the camera and the lenses will go live on the JD.com website from September 23, 2016.
