Bright optical viewfinder. Legacy lens compatibility. Quiet shutter. 24MP full-frame sensor. Dust- and splash-resistant body. Works with add-on EVF. Real leather body cover. Wi-Fi.

Very niche appeal. Omits video.

Bottom Line: Leica continues its LCD-free rangefinder camera series with the M10-D, which adds a faux film advance lever to completely sell its retro look.

Big, bright optical viewfinder with focusing patch. Compatible with lenses dating back to the 1930s. Very quiet focal plane shutter. 24MP full-frame image sensor. Dust- and splash-resistant build. Add-on EVF available. Wi-Fi.

Expensive. Rangefinders are not for everyone. No video recording. No Android support for Wi-Fi.

Bottom Line: The Leica M10-P is a more discrete version of the M10, with less obvious branding, a quieter shutter, and a new touch LCD.

Expanded ISO range ; Improved viewfinder ; Wi-Fi connectivity

No image stabilization

The Leica M10 looks to be a solid successor to this impressive line of cameras. More megapixels would have been nice, but the thinner body, bigger viewfinder and higher ISO range are all welcome.
