Rick Posted February 5, 2017 Share #21 Posted February 5, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) While its obvious that too much noise is a bad thing, I do wonder if the quest to eliminate randomness altogether is necessarily a good one. Digital pointillism does a damn fine job, but failing the advent of spooky action at a distance quantum photography, its all about approximating a continuum in the end. I'd rather listen to the imperfect beat laid down by a human drummer than the nano second perfect pulse pounded out by a square wave. None of which is to say that the improvements to the M10 aren't positive. I've neither laid hands on the camera nor processed any sample output yet. But I'm hooked on Leica, first and foremost, because of all the digital systems available, it's the one that comes closest to subtlety I associate with analog photography. I'd be quite depressed if the industry's unceasing quest for resolution and acuity got in the way of that. In the CRT front projection world (analog) we were overtaken by digital projection and some fellow on the projection forum I was on (ages ago) had a signature line that said something like, "Digital is like shaved legs on a man - smooth yes, but somehow disconcerting," Rick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted February 5, 2017 Share #22 Posted February 5, 2017 Erwin Puts: "While the M10 is a delightful implementation of the basics of manual CRF photography, it has to be said that the camera is not yet perfect. The mechanics of the rangefinder are at its limits, the optical performance of the best Leica M lenses exceeds that of the sensor capabilities, there are (technically speaking) doubts about the effectiveness of the removal of the AA-filter ...."
