For pure sensor performance, the Leica M10's 24Mp CMOS chip is in the same ballpark as recent Leica full-frame chips. Its odd behavior for both color and dynamic range is worth looking out for, and it's fair to say that although sensor quality is good,...

Even Leica admits the M10 is 'not a camera for everyone'. Given its price tag and the 'exceptionally lean handling concept' it provides, we feel only those who are fans of Leica's M-series will lust after this camera. If you're accustomed to an...

When we reviewed the M (Typ240) we made the comment that the manufacturer had slightly missed the point on what Leica users really wanted from the next model in the M-system. We felt the compromises that were made, combined with the technology it added,...

The M10 is clearly what happens when a company listens to its customers - even going as far to remove features, rather than add them, because that's what the people wanted. A higher resolution sensor, refined controls, and a slimmer body should make...

Leica continues to refine its M series of manual mirrorless cameras, slightly streamlining 2017's M10 to create a sibling model, the M10-P. The company calls it "the stealthiest M camera ever made," with its quietest-ever shutter mechanism and design...

In summary, the Handevision Iberit 35mm F2.4 is a good lens, which offers solid performance on the Leica M10. It's relatively sharp in the middle and at the edges of the frame wide open, but not to the point you'd expect from even cheap modern lenses...

(Editor's Note: You can see full-resolution test images we shot with the new Leica M10 here. ) In this day and age of cross-type AF sensors and AF tracking in high-speed shooting modes, a rangefinder-focusing camera might well seem an anomaly, if not...
