Who is waiting for the M10-P

I already have an M10-P for testing...Just kidding! A little bit of photoshop work shows how it could look in real life. Sometimes, small differences do matter and I think it looks really great! I probably gonna wait until it is released and then see, if it is worth the cost. For me, an electronic shutter and mechanical 1/8000 shutter speed would be all I wanted.

How do I upload photos to the forum?

I prefer plain M10 then.

Never like that big flat P- screw and no marking on top plate is cleaner for me.

I like it... although I would go for black rather then chrome as long it was black paint and not black chrome.... I could then keep it ‘forever’ as my digital M4 :D

It is true that the big screw in place of the red logo is a move from one undesirable red splotch to an ugly feature.

 

But, I wonder if a new P model would have the screw, which as I understand it is an adjustment mechanism. I write this as there is only a hole with some mechanics a bit removed, back from the hole, under the red dot on the M10. I cannot understand why Leica does not use a flat-head screw in that space instead of the rounded one that protrudes from the surface.

 

As to buying a P model. I bought the M-P 240 for the tougher LCD screen, the larger buffer and the framelines lever. I suppose the harder screen is nice if I ever bang the camera hard enough. I've never run out of buffer because I do not take pics where I use continuous shooting (OK, I have taken 3 shots in sequence a few times.)  I do use the framelines preview lever on occasion but generally know what field of view I will get with 28, 35, 50 and 75mm so if this is ever dropped from the body again it is not a deal-breaker. (I also have the Tri-Elmar WATE and know it just gets everything at 16mm!)

 

So far I don't really know what Leica might add to the M10 to make a P.

 

Oh, and finally, I do very much dislike the whole idea of having to pay extra for another camera bearing features that ought to have been on the model in the first place. It seems a cheesy way to reward customer loyalty, despite Leica knowing they can do most anything and still sell cameras.

There's a long history....

Previously, I bought an M9-P when my first M9 went to the dogs mainly for the sapphire glass LCD. Now, with the gorilla glass on the M10, I don't see the point of an M10-P. Although I'm not crazy about the red logo, I don't mind hiding it with black electrical tape. And I was never crazy about the writing in white lettering on the top plate; but, then I also prefer the black chrome of the M10 to the glossy black paint of the M-9P — in addition to the glossy look, the black paint always felt sticky in the heat and humidity of the tropics: the black chrome feels much better in these conditions.
