anupmc Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1621 Posted January 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) If they call it M10 then it will be because marketing dept realized that "typ" naming was a bad move. Number 10 is just another in sequence (IMHO). I'm actually rather surprised Leica wants to actually call it the M10... Considering the number of other existing cameras with the "M10" designation; http://www.canon.co.uk/for_home/product_finder/cameras/digital_slr/eos_m10/ http://www.olympusimage.com.sg/product/dslr/em10/ http://sjcamhd.com/product/sjcam-m10-action-camera/ http://htcm10one.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1623 Posted January 14, 2017 If Leica were to implement an opto-electronic rangefinder as per their patent filing in 2015, would they still need a CMOS sensor? Why not then move to a CCD sensor? Could this OEVF be a slot in option via the hot shoe? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distagon Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1624 Posted January 14, 2017 As far as the Hybrid viewfinder is concerned, the thai text of the answer says : another three years. The Instagram leaker seems to have avoided any comment about the viewfinder. His comment in Thai was in response to another commenter also posting in Thai, who joked that the new M10 would sell for just 140,000 Baht (USD$4,000). The response: In another three years.

Distagon Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1625 Posted January 14, 2017 Is no significant upgrade to the sensor or the external EVF Leica Visoflex EVF2: resolution 1.4 MP Leica Visoflex Typ 020: resolution 3.68 MP Not a significant upgrade? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anickpick Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1626 Posted January 14, 2017 I'd be perfectly happy with the Visoflex Typ 020, as long as it works well with the M body: No perceivable time lag, no blackouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1627 Posted January 14, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) if this is really what is on the horizon then I am truly disappointed , and in some sense happy that I really do not need to rush and put an order in I really dislike the ISO wheal on the top it looks bad. In that case the M4 must be a huge leap in esthetics over all previous Leica cameras for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1628 Posted January 14, 2017 In that case the M4 must be a huge leap in esthetics over all previous Leica cameras for you. You mean the M5 i guess. Was indeed a leap then, not the most successful though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1629 Posted January 14, 2017 You mean the M5 i guess. Was indeed a leap then, not the most successful though. I think Jaap refers to the angled crank as opposed to the straight rewind button which rather looked like the purported ASA dial on the purported M10.

jaapv Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1630 Posted January 14, 2017 I was referring to the M3 film rewind wheel which has clearly inspired the ISO dial. As the film rewind button on the early M3s has inspired the focus aid button. Edit: Cross-post with Philipp I see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

microview Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1632 Posted January 14, 2017 Watching a classical music item on YouTube I saw in the side bar 'launch of the M10' and I thought 'Wow! where's this from?' Turned out to be the 'M10' as successor to the M9, ie just the plain old M240! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicaiste Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1633 Posted January 14, 2017 As the film rewind button on the early M3s has inspired the focus aid button. I suppose that you meant early M2s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the film rewind button on the early M3s has inspired the focus aid button. [...] The first M body with an ISO dial on the top plate was the M5 indeed (pic) but one may dislike the look of the M10's dial without finding a "huge leap in esthetics" in the M4's rewind crank don't you think so? At least i didn't feel such a leap when i got my M4 in 1971, rather a welcome evolution. Welcome, dear visitor!

jonoslack Posted January 14, 2017 Share #1635 Posted January 14, 2017 There seems to be a sense of disappointment that there's no obvious radical technological change in this camera, but I think it would be a huge achievement if it simply gets back to the 'feel' of a film M. Less bloat and more refinement is all that I'd like in the M10. As far as the release specifications go then you're right, but specifications don't really tell the full tale, and I quite agree - getting back to the feel of a film M would be excellent!
