Ha, I know right. I'm glad to see they didn't go $7,450.00 though.

 

I am curious to see what retail for M240 will be moving forward. That could also sway some people to buy M240.

 

Although the new M10 does not have video. It does have live view.

Andreas manages both. I also get the same 'offers' etc from both. The style, layout etc are the same on both. This forum is much busier and I have never posted on the Fuji Forum. I just registered because I have some Fuji gear.

I remember the Fuji forum being set up. At the time I shot a lot on my X100 and XE1 and was a frequent contributor to www.fujix-forum.com which has been going for quite a while is busy and has a very friendly and helpful community. There was quite a lot of upset when www.fuji-x-forum.com was set up in 'competition' to the original with a very similar name.

The latter is the one to which I refer. Both this forum and the Fuji X Forum are businesses just like Fujifilm and Leica AG and, of course, much larger entities like Facebook.

Of course, hence the upset when the owner of the latter asked advice from the former then set up an identical site in competition. I know this is the way it is in business.

 That is the way it is. Thanks for the steer about the earlier forum. I may register there as well. I am primarily a Leica user and collector, but from time to time small issues arise with Fuji cameras. They are largely a 'known quantity , being current models, with a lot of information available online, however.

Interesting that it is the same increment Canon chose between the 5D III and IV.

Enough to register for marketing purposes, but not so much as to make the ISO performance too much of a challenge.

But Canon made that step in 2016, not 2018.

Still, there are other features of the sensor that I would value more highly than resolution: noise performance and accurate colour rendition key among them.

 

But Canon went from 22 to 50 megapixels in moving from the 5D3 to the 5DS, and that was almost two-years-ago.

 

5D4 added a lot more than just six megapixels, but consensus is that at most common ISO values (up to 3200) noise is about the same between the old and new, with the real improvement being to dynamic range.  I think Canon did it right here.

 

My guess is 24 megapixels will remain the sweet spot for 35mm format Leica cameras until the next generation of sensors, and maybe beyond.  I certainly hope so.

Camera is also ready to ship in silver and black.

 

.72 finder, 28 frame lines much more visible.

 

Screen is over 1m pixels but i don't think it's touch screen.

 

SL sensor updated for M and M lenses.

 

Screen is not detachable.

 

Has frame line lever.

 

No hybrid viewfinder.

 

Size comments are correct. It will be smaller and lighter than M9.

 

 

Almost forgot, will be 6,595.00 usd

I find this suggestive that all the follow-on variations to the 240, MM excepted, where marketing experiments that have culminated in Leica finding a new equilibrium.

All of the rumors sent by leicarumors were true except for one.

 

There is a new visoflex for this camera that is not the TL version.

 

Camera has wifi.

I'll be a bit annoyed if this is true - got myself a Visoflex a month or two back just in case... It'll have to go to ebay if it's not right for the M10 :(

Ditto.

The upside is that they have, presumably, chosen to release the latest technology after their EVF2 misstep.

I wonder how many others are on the same boat: a glut of Visoflex Typ 020s bought on speculation!

The Instagram leaker, who seems to be associated with a dealership in Perth, Australia, wrote "about $7,650".

Presumably he meant USD, not AUD, and it is unclear whether he was also including Australia's 10% Goods & Services Tax.

So it is possible that he was reporting a non-GST price of USD$6,955.

We'll know in a few hours anyway.

You should add 35% Trump tax. Because "Germans don't buy US cameras and that's an unfair one-way street business relationship".  :lol: 

 

 

Cool that your snark is apropos of nothing! Keep up the good work.

 

With the Euro at near-parity to the dollar, only means that the M10 will be cheaper here than in Angela M.'s turbulent Deutschland. And no VAT. And no sales tax if you play it right.
