Leica's M10 is the Slimmest digital M-Series Camera Yet

Leica's M10 is the slimmest digital M-series camera yet. As thin as a film-era M4, it is also 20 grams lighter than the M Typ 262. The big upgrades are under the hood, as the M10 comes with a newly designed 24MP sensor that offers improved dynamic range and high ISO performance, the latter of which now goes to an expanded value of ISO 50000. 

There's also a new, speedier Maestro II processor with 2GB of buffer to provide 30 Raw images or 100 JPEG images to be captured at 5fps. Leica has added some degree of environmental sealing and though they've eliminated any I/O ports, the M10 gains Wi-Fi capability. The addition of a bigger viewfinder, improved Live View performance and a dedicated ISO dial round out a refreshingly intuitive, back-to-basics experience.

The camera

Its unique balance of heritage and technical innovation embodies the essence of everything that is truly important for photography.

Compact dimensions, improved performance and the new ISO setting dial on the top plate offer M-Photographers what they wish for from an M-Camera.

Since the release of the Leica M3 at Photokina in 1954, every single M-System camera has represented the pinnacle of innovation for its day. Defined by what is essential for photography. Leica embodies this passion for quality, craftsmanship and its philosophy of photography to this day.

More than 60 years of rangefinder expertise, 11 years of digital M-Camera development and invaluable feedback from dedicated M-Photographers have inspired Leica engineers to create the slimmest digital M of all time: the Leica M10.

As slimly built as an analog M

Many photographers appreciate the dimensions of analog M-Camera models for their perfect ergonomics and their fit in the hands. The Leica M10 marks the return to precisely these dimensions.

ISO setting dial

The ISO setting dial allows photographers to easily set one of the most important parameters for any particular situation – even when the camera is switched off.

Extended ISO range

Thanks to the new sensor design of the Leica M10, the ISO sensitivity range has now been extended to enable exposures between ISO 100 and ISO 50,000.

Leaner operating concept

The focus has been set on the functions essential for photography: The back of the camera features only three buttons: Review, Live-View and Menu.

The improved viewfinder lets you see more

To improve the view of the subject, the field of view has been enlarged by 30% and the magnification factor has been increased to 0.73x. In addition to this, the eye-relief distance has also been significantly increased.

Fast continuous shooting

Thanks to a 2 GB buffer memory and sequential shooting at up to five frames per second, photographers will never again miss the decisive moment.
