Overall the Leica M 240 is an inspiring camera to use, from the design of the body to the feel of its controls. With its new sensor and processor it also performs extremely well, and produces images that match the body for quality. Its menu system isn't the slickest though.

By reviewed.com onThe good news is that used with the internal optical finder, the M 240 is fast and quiet, much quieter than the clattery M9 ever was, but used with the EVF, the M 240 becomes almost as slow and clumsy as shooting a 4x5" camera because of all the button pushes it always seem to take to turn it on or off (there is no eye control), and like a 4x5, the results are unfortunately so good that we put up with it. New for LEICA, the M 240 with external finder is an ergonomic nightmare, and like 4x5, the results are worth it for nature and landscape...

By KenRockwell onIn updating the Leica M9 with more current features, one cant help get the feeling that Leica has slightly missed the point with the M Typ 240. Yes, the additions of live view, an EVF and full HD video are welcome (especially for Leica R-mount owners),...
