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;

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!
