leica1215 Posted May 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) So many different 240 edition and 262 still going strong, a la carte 240 as well, seems some people don't care the What M-P's offering 2gb buffer memory and sapphire glass, for me the 2gb memory does make operation and shooting much more smooth. Is it just me? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted May 5, 2016 Posted May 5, 2016 Hi leica1215, Take a look here 240 vs 240 M-P. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
bencoyote Posted May 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 5, 2016 The place where I notice it most is when reviewing photos in a grid format. One photo at a time is fine with both but when you zoom out to the grid of photos it on the M it was very slow but on the M-P it is suitably responsive. i do think you're right though the faster processor and the bigger buffer seems slightly smoother. It is subtle though. I rarely shoot in C mode though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted May 5, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 5, 2016 I noticed the M-P was more responsive when I received it, having done my research with an M. It's a delightful camera. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I noticed that experienced photographer usually take one at the time C mode rarely use, but I found I often miss the shot, and when try to shoot again the 240 a bit slow.

Herr Barnack Posted May 5, 2016 Share #5 Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) No, it's not just you. I had an M240 for a year and upgraded to the M-P in Safari trim. The doubled buffer size is a godsend when shooting street photography or documentary. The sapphire rear screen glass gives me peace of mind that the M240's Corningware Gorilla Glass did not; I was always concerned about scratching or dinging it, in spite of the Gorilla Glass reputation of being nearly impossible to scratch. While it's true that the sapphire glass is more brittle than Gorilla Glass and could in theory shatter when G/G would scratch instead, I have had no problems after a year and change of shooting with the M-P. If you don't drop it or let a two year old smack the rear screen with a ball peen hammer, you're good to go.

Adam Posted May 5, 2016 Share #6 Posted May 5, 2016 +1 I have a Safari too, and the buffer is very useful in many instances. Street, moving targets. I also think the M-P is better since it does not have the dot. Less in your face. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashGordonPhotography Posted May 5, 2016 Share #7 Posted May 5, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have an M and an M-P. Not a lot of difference IMHO. Gordon Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornnb Posted May 5, 2016 Share #8 Posted May 5, 2016 It is not a sports camera I do not see how the 2GB buffer will make any difference to photography. The sapphire screen however is a nice feature to have as is the lack of a red dot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is not a sports camera, but a larger buffer does allow me to comfortably take a larger series of shots so as to capture moments like these, where I know this is going to happen very soon, but I cannot anticipate exactly when. I think in these kinds of situations a larger buffer helps. But others with sharper reflexes might not need that. Welcome, dear visitor!
