it's been seven years since likely released the m9 full-frame camera and with the m10 like is making the m-series even Aamir based on feedback from its film faithful Leica made the m10 faster and slimmer a slim is the analog m7 and it made the viewfinder bigger and brighter improved the noise profile and simplified the operation like it did so without sacrificing many of the conveniences of digital but it did drop some that are in the m9 company's view is that the m9 is a workhorse camera while this one's for the photography purists who I guess don't want video a USB connector or strobe sync connector to make it possible to see all the important shooting settings while the cameras off like a move to the ISO sensitivity control to the top though it maxes out at ISO 6400 it can only map one of the higher sensitivity values to the dial at a time it's got a clever lift to turn retract to lock design though the m10 retains the removable plate on the bottom which covers the battery compartment and SD card slot you'll be in there a lot since the battery life is not very good at least when you're using the optional EDF I got to spend a few days with a pre-production unit the viewfinder did seem better to me I usually have trouble focusing with range finders but this one wasn't bad I still preferred the optional AVF though since it magnifies the focus area and offers peaking one downside is I found it fogging up in our sort of winter weather photos look pretty much like any other modern like this one of the nice things is that the JPEGs look exactly like the raw Diane G's which is not true of a lot of other cameras
