I just sold my SL and bought the M10 and have zero regrets.

 

If your decision is based on image quality alone, its probably not worth it. Although there is a noticeable improvement in quality using M lenses. They look better on the M vs the SL, which is understandable since the sensor was designed specifically for the M lenses. Where the SL shines is with the SL lenses...and its versatility.

 

But if you factor all the other things that make the M10 a great choice for M lenses...specifically the rangefinder and smaller size. Then its well worth the upgrade. If those factors aren't important, the SL is far more versatile.

The very same reason i sold mine and moved over to m10

I would encourage anyone using a Mac to try Hasselblad Phocus.  With images from both my Hasselblad H6D and Leica M240, I find the out of box colors very accurate and needing minimal PP.

 

It's free too !!

Ah, but image quality, and I'm glad to hear you confirm what my survey of images shot with M glass on the SL was telling me, is exactly why I went with an M10 over an SL. Images shot with the SL native glass look more compelling to me and I can accept that native vs native the SL gives up little or nothing to an M. But as I'm all in on M glass, despite some compelling reasons to buy an SL to compliment my 240, the one thing I personally wont compromise on is image quality.

I'm not one for tests or comparisons but after using a M9 since early 2010, I really like the color of the M10 files. I passed on the M240 mostly because I did not like the way it rendered flesh tones and the increased size and complexity. But Leica really got this camera right.
