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.

Photography fanatics have been flocking to Leica for decades, because of its uncompromising focus on quality - in terms of the cameras themselves, as well as the pictures they take.

Leica is going back to the future (again) with its newest digital rangefinder, the full frame, 24-megapixel M10. With this new model, which is the follow-up to the Leica M (Typ 240), Leica has trimmed the size of the M10, making it 4mm (1/8-inch) thinner than its predecessor.

If you're looking for a great camera with interchangeable lenses, I advise you to look at Canon and Sony offerings so you can start building personal expertise. But if you can already shoot and want something unique, then by all means buy a Leica - like the company's latest, the M10 - which costs...

Leica is a refreshingly unusual company in the modern camera industry – weird, wonderful, gleefully anachronistic but never, ever, boring. As such, Leica is one of those companies that I've always enjoyed writing about.

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.

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.
