Just a quick update on the upcoming Leica M 10 camera – it is rumored to have a 0.72x viewfinder.

FYI: both the Leica M9 and M 240 have a 0.68x viewfinder.

Here is a recap of all Leica M 10 rumors I got so far:

• Dedicated ISO wheel/dial on top plate
• LED framelines
• No movie button on top
• 0.72x viewfinder
• Frame selector
• Raised M mount to accommodate the rumored thinner body (3.8mm thinner)
• The model name will be M10, no more “Typ” reference (Leica M10 was recently registered in China)
• The M10 will probably use the same M 240 battery (7.4V)
• Shipping will start in Spring of 2017
• 24MP sensor (most likely the sensor from the Leica SL/Q)
• Max ISO: 50k (just like the Leica SL and the Leica Q)
• Bigger control buttons on the back
• Slightly bigger LCD screen
• Same EVF from the TL camera

In case some of you are still questioning the authenticity of the Leica M10 FCC filing (FCC ID N5A3656): it was submitted directly by Leica Camera – if you look closely at the file “LabelID.pdf“, there is a link at the footer: https://extranet.leica-camera.com/index.php/s/DUA1ONVqRb8pdgO?path=%2FWIL – this is Leica’s cloud service. It is also interesting to note the file named SelectLabel_Willi_26_10_2016.jpg – maybe “WILLI” is the codename for the M10 project named after William Eggleston?
