Great product. Focus is sharp.

I have been shooting with M cameras for close to 3 decades, on almost all models from film to digital including the latest M10. I use four M cameras frequently these days - the M Type 60 (the heaviest and thickest and to me the most beautiful M camera ever made), the M-P Titan (type 240, the...

The Leica M10 looks to be a solid successor to this impressive line of cameras. More megapixels would have been nice, but the thinner body, bigger viewfinder and higher ISO range are all welcome.

Expanded ISO range; Improved viewfinder; Wi-Fi connectivity

No image stabilization

When briefed on the Leica M10P, I was proven that it is the quietest Leica camera ever made. In fact, it boasts the quietest mechanical shutter that we've ever worked with. Photojournalists are amongst those who would value something like this coupled with the WiFi capabilities and the touch screen...

Leica has introduced a new rangefinder camera to its legendary M series. Rangefinders use a style of focusing that was first introduced over a century ago, with focus achieved by converging the views taken from two windows mounted on the front.

This is obviously not a camera for anybody on a budget. As beautifully crafted as the M10 is, you’ll be forking out £5,600 for its body alone - so that's before you’ve even added any lenses to use it with. Getting to grips with rangefinder photography also isn’t for everyone - while it has its proponents, anyone who is used to speedy autofocus will probably find it frustrating. That said, the M10 is a great street photography camera that delivers truly stunning image quality. Thanks to that super high quality construction, it's also a real investment that'll last you for many years to come. If you don’t quite have the readies to splash out on the M10 right now but are attracted by its retro stylings, have a think about a Fujifilm like the X-Pro 2. You won’t quite have the same prestige hanging around your neck, but you will have some spare cash left over to buy, say, a car. Buy the Leica here from Park Cameras

The successor to the Leica M (Typ 240), Leica makes its M series even M-ier with the M10.

The design and feature set of the company's latest full-frame rangefinder comes from the wish lists of its pickiest users, right down to shaving 4 mm off the depth of the camera.

If Leica rangefinders are throwbacks to a bygone era, there's no better example of just how far back they can go than the M10 Monochrom ($8,295, body only). Like others in the M10 family, its basic design is the same as models dating back to the 1950s. But instead of housing a sensor capable of capturing the world in color, the Monochrom lives up to its name with an imager dedicated entirely to black and white. It's the best Monochrom camera that Leica has made to date, and worthy of being called our Editors' Choice.A 21st Century Rangefinder As with others in the family, the M10 Monochrom's basic design dates back to the Leica M3, a 35mm camera first sold in 1954. Film canisters have been swapped out for memory cards, and there's a touch screen on the back, but the general look and feel is the same. The body measures 3.2 by 5.5 by 1.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.5 pounds. The camera is slimmer than more modern mirrorless designs, and omits a handgrip. Add-on grips are available i...

The Leica M10 Monochrom is the dream camera for devotees of classic black-and-white photography.

40MP full-frame monochrome sensor; Optical viewfinder with rangefinder focus; Luxurious fit and finish; Crisp touch LCD; Dust and splash resistant; Nearly silent mechanical shutter; Add-on EVF available; Wi-Fi

Premium pricing; Doesn't do color or video; Manual focus isn't for everyone

The Leica M10 ($6,595) isn't as a drastic of an upgrade to the M (Typ 240) as that camera was over the M9. But it gives rangefinder devotees a new flagship, with faster processing, higher ISO capability, and a slightly slimmer design. It does take away one feature included in the Typ 240—video recording—which, according to Leica, was not something that M shooters are particularly interested in. If you're a photographer with a love for rangefinders, the M10 represents the best the market has to offer, and its high price reflects its niche appeal and German engineering. Our Editors' Choice full-frame mirrorless camera is an economical crowd-pleaser, the Sony Alpha 7 II, but if you prefer to stand out from the crowd, the M10 is a solid choice. Design and Viewfinder Leica wanted M photographers to think of an M as an M, but owners of the M (Typ 240) ended up referring it to the M240 as shorthand. With later additions of the M-D (Typ 262) and Monochrom (Typ 246), the series became mor...

The Leica M10 camera improves upon its predecessor, upping performance and slimming down the body. It's a solid, albeit pricey, choice for rangefinder devotees.
