Leica M10 Monochrom 41 MP

And for the M3 - how many shots have you missed because you had to change film? I get like close to 400 shots on one card and changing a card is positively quicker than changing a film in an M3.😉

None. 37 tries is plenty when all you need is a single frame. You are only as strong as your weakest image.

There must be something wrong with me...
16mp is just fine for me ... 24 may be a luxury i might consider
Beyond that, megapixels get wasted on Me, no need , no care

Something wrong witth me too...

When I bought the M10 I didn't care about how many MP, I discovered later it was 24 !

But I knew it was (in that moment) the digital camera most similar in use to my M7 , handling, size, a little heavier but still ok, excellent VF...and I could use the (few) lenses I had.

It was and still is enough for me, but I do not print billboard size and I'm not a pixel peeper 🙂

I have two M 10s (liked the first one so much I bought another) as well as an M 262, M-E and MM. Even with the return for new sensors in the MM and M-E I have had less issues with my digital Ms than I had with digital Canon. I had digital Canon for almost a decade and had a complete shutter failure when I was shooting for NATO when they were here in Chicago in 2012. I had a 1DsMkIII show up from CPS dead on arrival. I do miss CPS but I have had better than average luck with Leica NJ than most I read about here I guess.

The M 10 is perfect for me too. The M 10 is very responsive and that responsiveness is one reason I might eventually sell my original MM and pick up an M 10M. 24 is plenty of MPs for me too.

I actually have shot billboards and at one of my hospital clients I had 36 X 54 inch prints on walls there that you could get very close to that were all shot at 24MPs and less (18 with the original MM) and they looked great.

Can I ask if/how often you had those serviced in the time you had them?
For all the Mechanical Perfection claims made for the MP, it seems that the M6 was more reliable.

Just to keep things in balance, I've never had a failure with my MP (nor with my M7 or M6).

I remember when I was a working photojournalist with a pair of Nikon D2H (4.1MP) bodies and the D3 hit the streets with fullframe and capability of ISO 6400! Then I saw an image from my D2H blown up to 6 x 15 FEET for use on the billboard. Never got excited about "megapixels" again!

Great balls of fire huh 😀😀😀.
My weakest images just get deleted. 😎
