THE NEW LEICA M10




Initial report

I am writing this as the new Leica M10 is being introduced.   Oliver Kaltner, CEO of Leica Camera AG, just officially showed the new camera for the first time.

The camera features a new 24 MP sensor with an ISO range from 50 to 50,000.  Thanks to the new Maestro II processor, the camera allows for a fast frame rate of 5fps.  The new viewfinder has a 30% larger field of view with a magnification of 0.73 and a 50% better eye relief.  Built in WI-FI is another new feature.  The camera is compatible with the current Visoflex electronic viewfinder.  The buttons in back of the camera have been reduced to just 3 which give access to all relevant functions.  The camera is also noticeably smaller with a depth of only 33.7mm at the top plate.  A mechanical ISO dial is in place of the old rewind knob of the Leica M3.


 The new Leica M10 will be available worldwide as soon as tomorrow.

      It looks like a Leica M camera. What else do you want? Don't forget that it was the M5 that was a dismal failure because it didn't look and feel like any of the other M cameras.
