People tend to default to always believing that the newest camera is the best because it’s more technologically advanced or has more megapixels or whatever, but the latest model is not always better in every way. That is what this video is about. It’s like the specs of a new Porsche are more advanced in every way, but does that make the new Porsche better than a Classic Porsche? I don’t think so.

It's great that you enjoy your camera and respect for that. For me though, I prefer the M11 for More accurate metering, USB-C charging, Larger Battery, Less noise, Higher internal memory, Geotagging images, better buffer memory. iPhones and many devices have USB charging with exposed USB ports. To each their own though.

M9 is a wonderful camera. Especially in the summer when the lighting is good.

interesting, thanks, ... I have the Leica M10P *white* Limited Edition + 50 Summilux + 1.4x VF Magnifier

[HiFiInsider]

this video looks sharp. what are you using to shoot it?

[bngr_bngr]

The black paint looks really nice on your camera. I do wish in the future Leica would have two card slots. Plus a vertical battery grip option. It’s such a useful accessory on all my other cameras to have that ability.

Very nice video and great camera too. I have one exactly like it. I would like to ask you, is the lens in the video the latest version or the one before it?
Best regards.

Dude, half these Leica shooters refuse to take the plastic off the baseplate and you expect them to remove the white sticker?!?!?!? Not gonna happen ;) I removed mine on both my M10 and M10 Monochrom by just peeling it and rolling my thumb over as much as I could until my thumb would hurt. It took more than a day, but the baseplate looks much better now. I dislike the black paint cameras though. Really glad most of the black Leica are black chrome.

Such a beautiful camera! I do wonder, though, have you found that with the higher 40mp sensor you get less sharp images shooting handheld (compared to, say, 24mp)? Some people have found that they really have to take care when shooting higher pixel count cameras handheld since camera movement will be more noticeable in pictures and cannot be corrected (except by. shooting at higher shutter speeds in the first place - which introduces other issues in terms of exposure options). Personally I have seen the difference when switching from a 24mp to 36mp DSLR.
P.S. You may want to rest your camera on a very soft cloth (microfiber) when you put it down as the black paint is known to mark easily. And especially avoid putting it down on its top plate (as you do in the video), unless on a soft cloth. Regret is the worst feeling.

Oh! That black paint is beautiful! My M10-D is the ultimate digital M for me, pure classic.

I have the M10-R silver that I bought new for near a 33% discount over an M11. So not only is it better for all the reasons you mentioned, but if you shop around you may find a huge deal verses the M11. Huge deal for a Leica that is. :)

oooof the m10-r BP is a beaut, congrats! Totally agree the m10 line up was peak leica aesthetics. i wish i got that one but I'm pretty happy with my m10p safari.

[mamumonkan]

just a quick question : is there a way to uncouple AE while half pressing the shutter button ( or once you half press the shutter in A mode it's locked to the value it was reading at the instant you pressed the shutter ) ?

[rickgamble]

That M10r black paint needs the same black paint over brass lens!!

[taipowerhung]

Is this the last Leica camera with a detachable bottom?

[wookchang]

Who said so?
M10 has color-rendering problem and highlight blown due to wrong ISO setting.
Base ISO is not 100 but 160.
If you set ISO 100, you will see blown highlight so often.
If you want M10 body, please get M10-R.

[jameshoward]

100%. And that M10R in BP is the finest of the fine! The M10 is also a great camera and I think Leica really hit the essence of M with the M10/P/D//R/M models: minimal, pure, reliable and good colour science. Previous digi Ms had great colour, but were normally afflicted with issues or bulk. The M11 lost the plot: needless trivial features and complexity, unstable electronics, heat build-up and bizarre colour science - the M7 of digi Ms... But a better battery than the 10. M10Rs getting very hard to get, while there are loads of 11s - says it all.

[andersphansson]

Nice video! Hard to get a used M10-R unfortunately

[Chasjazzez]

Shooting also on a silver M10R… did shoot with a M11… I didn’t like the magenta color cast… And what you mentioned; the M10 has the classic feel. The M11 almost feels like a Hybrid… I keep the M10R and buy a BP MP shorty

[streetinvertphoto]

The shutter sound on the M10 is loud but I loved it, beside that ever since moving to the M11, I have no worry about the battery life, one battery and one powerbank, I can go for days of casual shooting when on a trip and not have to carry 3-4 spares like I did with the M10, usb-c charging is much needed. Beside that better light metering and electronic shutter for wide open shot in daylight. But I get your point, not everything new is better, M10-R is a dream for many, especially the black paint version that you have. cheers
