Pros: First of all user experience, then dimensions, construction materials, retro style, very quiet shutter, optical park, essentiality, high value holding in the used, very pleasant and balanced file, RAW file extension is the universal DNG
Cons: High cost of the camera body and optics, obviously it is not to do everything and it is not for everyone, a purchase that must be evaluated very carefully
Opinion: I have the M10P for about two and a half years and I will also be biased, but for my needs it is the perfect machine, small and discreet it goes practically unnoticed thanks to the particularly quiet shutter (even more than the famous first M3 DS) ... when I ride always and everywhere with my M around my neck (without fear of theft because few recognize it) I am mistaken for a nice harmless old man with a vintage car and not as a danger that points a cannon at him! But let's proceed with order, the M is the essentiality made camera, no IBIS, no AF to adjust and points to choose, nothing at all and so you focus on where to focus (I have never lost a photograph because blurred) the M system (from 10 onwards) you have everything you need to photograph on sight, ISO, timing, apertures, focus distance and butterfly of the PDC and it's all within sight, with the camera around your neck it's all in a triangle ... In the menu you go home for any special settings or for some particular photographs (for example for the virtual horizon or to preview the perspective correction with the wide angles). Personally I use Leica M since March 1995 and then next month are 28 years in which (in addition to those of my father who went around the house) I had 4 different M6, an M4P, an M4 (which I still have) and various screw leichette and then an MP240 and I can tell you that I shoot with the M10P exactly as I shot with the M6 or more correctly as I would have shot with an M7, It changes the image recording medium from film to a sensor, but it does not change the user experience ... personally in these 28 years I have also had Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, and others including an SL, all exceptional machines in theirs, but none gave me the pleasure of shooting the M10P Another strong point of the M system is the vast optical park, all compatible from 1932 onwards, in addition to the VGT, Zeiss and the Chinese there is something for all tastes and pockets. Finally I personally tell you that I bought my M10P (new) with its 24 MP after the release of the M10R and I never felt the need to have those MP more, mounting top optics I always printed in large sizes up to 2 X 1.5 meters, made important crop and then printed 60X90 and I could go further, I also printed 80X120 at 12,500 ISO and with the right PP it is perfect. Basically it is my perfect machine that I will keep for a long time (I consider at least 10 years) even strong of the poor aging of the M system thanks to its essentiality and little electronics and the M10P in particular with the shutter very quiet and a file that I always like very much. |
