<<<<<I believe simplicity is a good thing for the M, I even replaced my 240 with the 262 some time agon and I am happy with that decision.

 

 

 

That's the benefit of having the M262 and other derivatives available though, and not an reason to remove features from the M that some people find useful.

 

Removing features can represent simplicity for some but adds complexity for others. It's a personal matter of how you use your camera.

Good point. I like the fact that Leica offers such derivatives and makes everyone happy :) I for instance would rather go for the M10 Lite whenever it is introduced since I now have the 262 and am very satisfied with it.

M10 after 10 years of digital and back to the classic roots. SIMPLICITY. Can't wait! M is M again. For people which need video, EVF etc. please adopt the SL or Q. 

 

 

Having used M cameras for well over 30 years, I have no intention of switching to a large SL or a fixed lens Q, neither of which offer an optical viewfinder/rangefinder,  just because some people don't like a button on their M that is so easy to ignore that it's possible to forget it even exists, or a  detachable EVF which, when not attached is undetectable.

 

Thanks for the invitation, which I respectfully decline.

For people who can't ignore features that can be turned off, and have no effect on camera operation or image quality, please adopt the M-A. :)

So there will be no "M10 in Africa" articles ;).

 

 

Perhaps you could use the M10 as a gimbal counterweight for the DG Vario-Elmar kit, thereby justifying the "M10 in Africa" title and continuing your enjoyable series? Well, that notwithstanding, you also seem to always include some wonderful people and context photos that would be suited to the M10, even if they aren't proper safari shots. So, don't let it be the end of those.

 

Actually, it just occurred to me that it could be a rather profitable strategy, if aggressively anti-customer, to release the M-262++ model as the M10 now, and then once sales slow down release the M-240++ model with video et al and reap multiple sales to the same customers. The opposite of this, of course, would be to do the customer-friendly thing, and announce the M10 as well as the M10 ala carte program that returns to multiple finder magnification as well as optional video, Monochrom, and finishes -- all available for immediate queueing in the manufacturing process. But. What dreams may come.

 

Cheers,

Jon
