Very nice hands on by Sir Jonathan Slack! Thank you!

 

Looks like a very nice addition to the M-family of cameras! Well done Leica

[IWC Doppel]

The information so far is great news, a step back in the right direction. I already want one :-) I didn't say that when the M240 came out. Glad they went back to numbers as well

 

Wonder why they didn't say 11, well if I do change I'll move from M8-M9-M10 !

[Paulus]

Now it's clear, why the had the "replace battery " announcement in the M 240... We need new batteries in the M 10...

I'm impressed. The M10 is going to by my next Leica. Better viewfinder, 24MP, Wi-Fi  rings the bells in my wish list. Heck, maybe I'll get two.

 

Thank you, Leica!

Does this mean video is relegated to the SL line, and the M is "pure" photography? Or will the M240 type M be sold concurrently?

My feeling is the former, which will sure make some people unhappy.

 

On another note, the M-D version of the M10 will be sweet. Nice and thin once all the screen and bottoms are removed!

Thanks to Andreas for putting good page dedicated for M10!

As relatively new owner (2016) of fresh (2015) M-E I was thinking - what after M-E? M240 and its flavors are too different from M-E for me.  New M10 looks just right!

I was told, by the same people how announced the M10 in November, which alas could not be delivered at that time ( although the testing of the M 10 was already in October ) that the M 240 type will exist next to the M 10 . 

 

I don't know if my source lost it value the moment the M 10 was not announced in November although.

[Paulus]

Also good from the leica blog...

 

M10, meaning the optimal distance of the eye from the viewfinder, is distinctly greater than on the M ( Typ 240). Consequently the finder offers improved viewing comfort, especially for anyone who wears glasses. At the same time this enabled us to reintroduce the 0.73-times magnification.

Jono's reviews are the best!

[scott kirkpatrick]

@Andreas, thanks for all the pictures from the event.  Including Jono dodging the guys with white gloves.

 

@Jono, you didn't comment on how the M10 labels its files.  It looks like one SD card is supported, inserted from the bottom as always, so is the procedure for naming files also taken from the M240 firmware?  Is the battery the same as was used in the M9, or a new shape and connector configuration?

 

also, does the M10 write a DNG 1.4 (which can include lens-specific corrections for distortion and LCA) as the SL does, or the older style as the M240 does?  Something in Sean Reid's review makes me suspect that the files will be in the newer format.

No USB port, no access to a USB via a grip. This is game over. EOL for the M and professionals. Very, very, very unhappy.

It will be an option.

I am convinced that cameras are now like running shoes. Runners often stock up on their favourite model for fears it will be "upgraded" to something they don't like. Running shoe technology is pretty mature, so new ones are just different, not always better. Just like cameras

 

Will we see a run on M240's?

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[Leica Fanatic]

Let's take a look logically at what the M10 really provides.

 

Slimmer body like a film M, ISO dial where the film rewind knob would be, higher ISO, wider viewfinder and focus peaking.

 

In reality, will any of these help you take better pictures, rather than a good photography book or some lessons? I doubt it.

 

What we actually have is an M240, with some tweaks.

 

Still, even those with 5 other M's (and the money) will buy it, mainly because they believe that is what you are supposed to do, progress and all that.
