I am neither disappointed nor surprised.   As I noted in another thread were I looking to buy a camera today I'm not sure I'd buy the M10.

 

I can see that it would be reasonable to choose between the M240, the Mono, the M-D or the M10. But i cant see why anyone would choose the M262?

What does it offer that the others don´t? All the other cameras offers something the M262 does not have.

You have it backwards.   Why should I pay for things that do not interest me?

 

The differences between the 262 and the other cameras are not things that I care about and are therefore not worth the extra cost.  If I cared about the "missing" features I'd have bought one of the other cameras.  In comparing the 262 to the 10, for example, I find some of the additional features negatives -- a reason to NOT buy the camera.

Ok. Curious on what you find negative with the M10 compared to the M262?

Battery size, for one.   WiFi is another.   I prefer the larger battery and have, on other cameras, accidentally turned on WiFi which had a drastic impact on battery life.

 

I don't use or care about live view with the M.   If it was a "free" option I'd take it, but it is not.   $6595 for the M10 and $5395 for the M 262.

 

Edit: removed comments regarding video which the M10 also does not have

No, no, no!  You have it all wrong.  It's not the M10 (M-ten), it's the MIO (mio all in capital letters.  MIO translates to, "my own".  My own Leica!

P.S.  Didn't get one in the first shipment, so I guess it's not my own camera yet.

Fair points, but for me not as significant.

My questioning of the M262 was not personal. It is a fine camera still.
