I received some additional information on the upcoming Leica M10 camera (see more details here) that will be announced on January 18th:
- It will have only 3 buttons on the back
- No video (this is a strange move, probably needed to make the camera smaller – it also explains the lack of the movie button on the top plate)
- Leica M7 size
- New 24MP sensor (meaning new compared to the M 240, I still believe this will be the same sensor from the Q/SL)
The Japanese website Nokishita also published some additional M10 information translated from German:
- 24MP sensor (Höchste Abbildungsleistung durch neuen 24 MP Sensor)
- Image processing engine MAESTRO II (Das nächste Qualitätslevel mit neuem Maestro II Prozessor)
- As slim as analog Leica M camera (So schlank wie eine analoge M)
- ISO sensitivity dial (ISO Einstellrad für mehr Kontrolle)
- Improved viewfinder (Mehr Durchblick mit verbessertem Sucher) – this probably explains the bigger size of the viewfinder in the leaked pictures
- Up to 5 frames per sec. (Schnelle Aufnahmefrequenz Bis zu 5 Bilder pro Sekunde)
- Wi-Fi equipped (Vernetzt mit M App und WiFi Konnektivität)
- Improved menu (Ganz nach Wunsch Das Favoriten Menü)
- Enhanced ISO sensitivity settings (Erweiterte ISO Einstellungen)
- Reduced concept of operation (Reduziertes Bedienkonzept) – I am not sure of the exact translation here, maybe easier to operate?
Update: more M10 details are available here.
