M10 images leak

They had a full size "sensor" in the Barnacks, well, one can dream.

Does the rumoured spec. look like a leap forward or a small step to you? I suppose it depends on where you are looking from, from my M8, which is progressively failing and I suspect would be un-economic to repair even if parts were available, given the size rumours it looks like time to make a leap.
 
Maestro II ?

Maestro II ?

Thanks for the specs link.

Besides the thinner body/flange length trade-off. A significant difference could be switching to the MAESTRO II in-camera processing engine.

Except by any realistic naming in the old number system, this one should be M12 (M10=M/M-P240/MM246, M11=M/M-D262, etc).

It is good to see new products appearing, as always.

I wonder if "M10" is a nod to 10 years of digital Ms. Whatever it's called, and why, the camera sounds wonderful.

I would not spend a single EUR more for a camera body that is slimmer. So the basic question is, what can this camera do better than a M240?

Many people have wanted a digital Leica the size of a M. They will get it now. I guess it wasn't made for you or I, but this will sell even if it is not an improvement in "IQ" vs. other Ms.
 
I mean, it's not like it's a rehoused M240. It's thinner, it will have a better sensor, supposedly better VF, probably a higher buffer, etc. I always look at stuff as having "generational upgrades." Everything is going to be slightly better in the new model, generally speaking.
 
I'm doubting the "thin as an analog M"... The body still looks fairly thick, surely dependent on the battery and SD card slot. That front flange doesn't look more than about 2mm thicker than on the M240/262. The rear screen may have been slimmed a mm or so too, but that still doesn't get it to M6-skinny! But that's ok with me. :)

But it is!

The 'housing' differences may be very attractive to some people.

But the most important component - the sensor technology is identical.

The in-camera image rendering engine is the Maestro II system used in other Leica products. How this change is accepted by the digital M community remains to be seen.

IMHO it's non issue. Some will like it. Some will say there's no practical difference. And some will decide the original M240/M262 image engine is better.
 
A bit of a non-sequitur, I am glad everyone here is generally courteous and respectful when discussing the new M10. The comments on LR has been atrocious, full of name-calling and insults, hate and disdain. Okay, *rant over* and Happy Holidays (I know what Ill be asking for Christmas *next* year!).
