To make the comparisons easier, you could have used the same lens on all three cameras and also use a tripod for each shot. Also, when playing back the comparison shots, put the sequence in the same order, M9, M240, and M10 rather than jumbling them up so I don't spend half the time looking to see which camera it is.

I've always wanted to buy a Leica camera, but every time I researched a particular model I always found a major defect. M8: A long list of problems which you can research on line. M9: Sensor corrosion, and Leica no longer offers free repair. Q: Dust magnet. Dust which cannot be cleaned since the lens is permanently attached to the body. M240: Reliability issues, and design flaw prevents attaching certain lenses, and limits the focus distance on others. I am not sure what the deal is but I can't help and draw a parallel with German cars, which are incredibly unreliable and expensive to repair. In contrast Japanese equipment although lacking passion in many cases, is very reliable.
@cris_photography2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the feedback Karim. Yes, they all had drawbacks BUT they also had pros: M8: while being an APS-H sensor and having some issues here and there the B&W out of that camera are insane thanks to its sensitivity to IR rays. So while colors are quite bad, you can get really good shots like no other Leica camera. M9: yes, sensor corrosion. Now, if you got yours fixed or you get a camera that did, you won't have to problem again any time soon. Also, the CCD sensor gives you amazing photos (in normal lighting conditions) that really look like 35mm film photographs and that is something no other camera does. M240: that one is my least favorite. However, it was the first with a "normal" display and that had a CMOS sensor and LED framing lines. The results are really good, longer battery life of the lot and you can get it for a very competitive price now. Q: yes, the Q1 was not the best in terms of WR HOWEVER the Q2 really fixed all those problems and it is just amazing to use. NOW: M10: this is the right digital Leica camera and as close to what we want and they are doing better and better from there on. Cheers!
@karimnasser92262 жыл бұрын

To me and a lot of Leica users this is a non-feature, and I do wonder why Leica ever thought it necessary to implement it in an M camera? I have to add that the LV capability of the M240 and M10 is actually quite useful when using ' non standard ' or fast aperture lenses where focusing with a range finder is a challenge even for the most experienced user. Good show, though.
