Leica Typ 240 Vs M10

New Camera!! Leica M10 vs M240 review + YouTube

Qu. Are you a Leica M8, M9, M240 possessor? Like me are you very tempted by the new slim Leica M10 specs or even the super placidity Leica M10-P?!

>> In this article I summarise 9 major differences betwixt the Leica M10 vs Leica M240, 3 extras features the Leica M10-P offers & explain my new camera decision!

The Leica M10 vs M240 fence!

As a Leica M240 owner currently, I have had my heart on a potential camera upgrade to for a footling while now. I was immediately tempted past the Leica M10 photographic camera when it was start released back in January 2017 and now the new Leica M10-P is hither! I tried to etch a meaningful argument as to why I needed yet some other photographic camera. In particular, why I needed another digital Leica that was arguably quite similar to the M240 I already have.

Hither is my Leica M10 review / Leica M10-P review vs the Leica M240 when looking to upgrade. (*When I write "Leica M10" below this also relates to the M10-P. The Leica M10-P specs then includes a few extra new features, three of which I listed separately).

Leica M240 vs Leica M10 review

Leica M10 Specs vs M240 Advantages (to me)

ane) Leica M10 Loftier ISO – The number one reason I would upgrade is the Leica M10 loftier ISO for low calorie-free photography, espeically wedding photography but likewise for model photography when I find myself in a dark hotel or apartment overseas. The high ISO of the M240 goes up to ISO 6400 merely the Leica M10 high ISO is 50000! In existent terms the M10 has two-3 stops more usuable high ISO depending on taste and conditions vs the M240. This would exist gratefully received!

2) Leica M10 Buffering – Another issue I take had with the M240 during hymeneals photography is buffering / camera lock up while buffering. The M240 could have 12 JPEGS during continous shooting before buffering / stopping but the new Leica M10 tin accept twoscore JPEG photos before needing to buffer. I will never demand more than that! (It is worth noting the buffering on the M240 photographic camera is lightningly fast compared to my Leica M8!) 🙂

iii) Leica M10 Viewfinder – The new Leica M10 viewfinder is 30% larger so can see more than when composing AND it is more magnified making it easier for critical focus (great for when I use the Leica Noctilux 50mm f1.0 for example). Viewfinder magnification of the M10 is 0.73x vs 0.68x for the M240 (vs 0.91x on the Leica M3 film photographic camera). The new M10 viewfinder blueprint is also amend for whatsoever Leica photographer wearing glasses as less of the viewfinder view is blocked. I wear glasses for driving but not for photography and then I have no problems using my Leica M240 viewfinder.

4) Leica M10 Wifi – The Leica M10 spec includes built-in WiFi. This ways I can transfer photos straight from my camera to my telephone to share images to Instagram / social media without needing a laptop. When I organise my overseas model photography photograph shoots in Poland and Hungary for example, I travel low-cal and without a laptop so this would be a great feature to take. WiFi would also work well for sharing wedding photos after destination weddings where I am without a computer.

Leica M10 specs vs M240 Disadvantages (to me)

1) Leica M10 Battery – I find the Leica M240 battery life very good and never a business concern. I use ii M240 batteries and I have never ran out whether a full mean solar day of model photoshoots or an all solar day Leica wedding. Sadly the new Leica M10 battery is smaller meaning less photos/ capacity per battery. This would mean I would need to conduct two spare batteries instead of ane. The smaller Leica M10 battery size also means I cannot use my existing spare Leica M240 battery.

2) Larger viewfinder – The new Leica M10 spec sees a viewfinder xxx% larger than the Leica Grand 240 viewfinder. This is neat except if you apply a Leica M magnifier accessory for the viewfinder like me. I use a 1.4x viewfinder magnifier on my M240 but this will not fit the Leica M10. I would need to buy a new larger bore Leica M10 viewfinder magnifier pregnant more toll.

3) No video – Unlike the Leica M240 the new Leica M10 at present has no video option. I used video extremely rarely on the M240 only it never hurt me to have information technology in the camera. Occasionally it could be fun to have only now on the M10 this is not an option.

A few more differences – Leica M10 vs Leica M240

one) Slimmer – The M10 has a slimmer camera body than the M240, like to the Leica film cameras such as a Leica M6. The M10 is also very slightly lighter than the M240. The wider width of the M240 has never bothered me but the new M10 does look skillful a little slimmed down.

two) ISo Dial – The M10 now has a dedicated ISo dial on the top plate means rather than scrolling through menus on the M240. It looks good and woudl be well received but it wouldn't brand me purchase the camera based on just that.

The new Leica M10-P vs Leica M10 compared

i) Leica M10-P Quieter Shutter – The M10-P has the new quietest Leica Yard shutter. Nifty for my Leica wedding photography!

2) Touch Screen – The M10-P now has a bear on screen similar a smart telephone. I recall we are all and then used to swiping on our phones I think the M10P touchscreen is a nice improver

3) Leica Dot – The Leica M10-P now has a blank screw head showing on the forepart of the camera (usually covered past the famous Leica red dot). I recollect I prefer information technology covered upwardly by the Leica logo but I can see why they did it.

New Photographic camera purchase!

So after much debating and what seems similar ages since the Leica M10 camera was beginning appear, I but bought myself a new digital photographic camera! I always feel a lot happier buying picture cameras as I think I volition lose less money if I ever sell them. That said, the motion picture cameras are mostly bought for fun and paid work is unremarkably mostly digital photography. A new digital camera for me is bought as a tool to get the job washed in the best mode possible. I liked the thought of the Leica M10 / M10-P high ISO ability as I found that can be a picayune limiting with the M240 for Leica weddings. That was my main wish for my upgrade, better low light capability.

Leica M10 Review – Conclusion

After because my above mini Leica M10 review, the problem accept is I didn't discover the list of Leica M10 improvements over the Leica M240 worthy of the £3,000-£3,650 cost tag. (Toll based on upgrading from my M240 and the used price of my Leica M240). Information technology was time to look elsewhere for possible new camera options. I did buy a new photographic camera this calendar week but information technology wasn't the camera I expected to buy or had ever considered! Scary actually when I thought of myself as only ever a rangefinder guy. It'southward funny how we can adapt so quickly.

I will get a few more new camera examination shots together and share the details presently. Hopefully tomorrow night or Monday (a public vacation in the U.k. and so I should have more than time for blogging).
