Review: Leica M10-P Edition

It may seem odd that I'm reviewing the Leica M10-P since I've already done a comprehensive review of the previous M10 and an unboxing video of the M10-P; but I thought I'd do a real world test and shoot with it on the streets. Is there a difference between the standard M10 and the mid-cycle M10-P model? Yes. The shutter dampening system changes the way the camera feels. I prefer the 'feel' of the M10 without the dampening vibration, but I do prefer the quieter shutter sound of the M10-P. I don't think either will make a difference in your images itself, just the way it makes you feel when shooting with it. If being super quiet is your priority, then the M10-P is the way to go and probably the future of the M body shutter mechanism. Touch screen is nice but is no reason for anyone to upgrade. Overall the latest M10 body compared to the previous M240 is a huge improvement in terms of size, feel and function. I can't wait to see what the M11 will bring to the table. Hopefully improved wifi and the addition of BlueTooth, and perhaps a hybrid EVF/OVF like Fujifilm's X-Pro and X100 series? Is that too much to ask Leica?

Can’t wait to get one! I’m saving for a Silver M10P. I currently use the Leica CL, but I only shoot manual and I want a full frame camera. Loved the review!

[jeffgabriel-yu]

90% sure that is me at 0:23 - I remember taking that photo and hearing something behind me. We should go street shooting sometime - so you don't have to creep up on me at strange hours in the night haha

Great video and cameras. Now the video I cannot wait for, the Ricoh GRIII review by the one and only Bigheadtaco😊

[Hoppetakeyama]

Great vdo. At the end of the vdo, I like the shutter click sounds of M7 better. 😁

[PharoahsKingdom]

Glad you did a review. Not a fan of unboxings.

Well, I can just see in your face that you are just happy playing with those cameras! Ultimately, I still think film leicas are better tool to shoot with. I Still have M8 but without battery power, I cannot shoot! It happens all the time! When I want to use it, it just takes one shot then goes to sleep! I guess M10 has Bigga capacity batt.... Happy shooting! Still looking for noct 50/1.0@@@!!!@@@
Thanks for the reviews!

Truly great Leica images...I’m gonna get one...great review, again....

[cedrichuen]

Yes, the m10p shutter is much quieter but your m7 seems sound much better.
You point out what I am thinking of, I wanna purchase both film m and digital m for my street shooting.

What lens hood is that for the 28 Summicron?

[ekchuahstudios]

Love that camera strap. Looks like a Vi Vante strap.

[garyrobinson]

Thanks, Take! I always look forward to your content! I’ve been searching far and wide to see if you have anything on the q2. I already own the q2, but I’d love to see what you think of it.

[mastertree]

I like the intro pictures! Good review like always!

[chensiying]

Can you please tell me where can I get the camera strap for the m7, thank you.

[sanahe]

Awesome video! What kind of strap are you using for the M7?

[Noealz]

just looking at that camera is enough for me - will never be able to afford one lol

[jakepeters]

Is there a stop on the shutter speed dial or does it spin freely? That is, can one feel where the speed is set or count from a rest position to another setting?

[TreyPiepmeier]

I really dig how you liken using a rangefinder to imagine a photo with having a story read to you.

[Traveljournalist]

I have the same Barton1972 strap for my M6 :)

[maheshg]

May I ask how do the colours compare with the SL? Thanks

[sbarronmd]

i never thought of wearing my watch that way
