M10 Specs Up

[furcafe]

I guess they're pulling an Apple & ditching the numbers:

Features/improvements mostly as predicted (weathersealing is nice surprise).

Looks like a great camera... but I doubt either it or the ME will be anywhere near being "cheap."

[porktaco]

[lcpr]

Just noticed that it has LED projected framelines like the M9T.

 

[kdemas]

At least partially weather sealed, good news.

"Special rubber seals now protect the camera body against dust, spray and moisture."

 

[Joosep]

Wheres the illumination window !?
LED illumination. Pffffffffff...
Im liking the M-E more...

And people say Leica ain't popular? They still have enough fans to crash dpreview.com

 

[tstermitz]

Ooh. Leica-M-E (Entry)

AKA Leica M-9 without frame selector.

4,800 Euro.

That will keep the price of the M-9 Up! Thank you Leica!

6400 ISO, that's pretty hilarious. Haha. Splash proof is good though. Although that means eff all, define "splash"? Better than nothing perhaps.

in a case with the R adapter?

 

[fstops]

My prediction about M10 with an EVF came true.

I'm amused. lol

 

[jsrockit]

$6300 US is the cheap option... you gotta laugh at that man.

 

[boomguy57]

Anyone see the price on the M10?

 

[boomguy57]

$6300 US is the cheap option... you gotta laugh at that man.

Who are they kidding with this?

 

[fstops]

$6300 US is the cheap option... you gotta laugh at that man.

If you just got some money and want a Leica, would you buy an M9 or a ME?

ME. Because it has faster write speed compared to M9, not to mention it will be serviced for a bit longer.


Leica has survived all this time, not because its unique and so on, but because its run by very smart people.

 

[Moriturii]

I feel like nostradamus. Should I quote my previous post from another thread where I said they will add features that are a generation old and ad $9000 price tag?

It might be shockingly revolutionary to some and immorally expensive to others (or both), but I have to admit, with some considerable reluctance, that this camera comes closest to what I would consider the ultimate camera. Closer than the OM-D, the RX-1, the NEX-6, the D600/D800 or the XPro-1.
