The Stunning New Leica M10 Comes with a Built-in Wi-Fi
This amazing new Leica M10 looks beautiful as a mix between the old and the new.
This camera has a perfect mix of classic design and high-tech performance that we can’t stop but loving it.
If you pay attention to all the Leica cameras you’d notice that for them, it is all about the details. And this new camera it is the perfect example to see what I mean.
The company proudly says that the camera it is “a full four millimeters”, which is thinner than its predecessor, a feature that Leica’s fans will appreciate.
But the real improvements of the M10 are beneath its magnesium and brass exterior.
Its core is a brand new sensor that allows 24 megapixels, the same resolution as the unit on the M Typ 240, but the company mentioned that has an improvement on the micro lens architecture and removal of the optical low pass filter, that offer significant power in sharpness.
This camera is paired with the latest version of Leica’s Maestro II image processor, leading to a maximum continuous burst rate of 5 frames per second and an expansive ISO range of 100 to 50,000.
This type of camera isn’t typically known for its speed, but Leica claims that the M10’s generous two-gigabyte image buffer will let photographers shoot longer bursts.
Another important thing about the M 10 is that is the first Leica M camera to have incorporated Wi-Fi; however, connectivity is limited to iOS devices, but Android support is on the way.
One interesting aspect is that iOS users will be able to save and edit RAW files from the M10 in Lightroom Mobile and other apps, as Leica uses the Adobe DNG RAW format.
This is a camera that is a must for the avid photographers who are looking for a way to easy edit their work.
“Images taken with the Leica M10 are super sharp, and full of crisp details even in the shadow areas. Colours are vivid without being too contrast-y. Chromatic noise is not an issue, even at up to ISO 6,400.”
The rangefinder itself has also been updated with improved magnification to 0.73x, a 30-percent increase in field of view, and a 50-percent increase in “eye-relief” distance, improving comfort and ease of use, especially for users with glasses.
The camera, which is handmade in Germany, will be available from select retailers starting January 19 for a price of $6,495.
