Just visted this thread for the first time in a while!
Wow what a lot of stuff!
People should love whatever camera they want, and respect the choices of others.
But there’s a few myths here isn’t there?
The 240 MP “you” bought new 12 months, for nigh on £6k, that’s worth about £3.5k now, that’s a fact and that’s called depreciation... so this ‘you never lose money on an M’ it’s just not true (even secondhand M9s have got a bit cheaper since they stopped offering the free sensor), but seriously, get an M240 new today, it’s dropped four figures by the time you’ve taken it home.
By all acconts the M10 is a masterpiece
But not every M was so right no? Again the 240... iirc scroll around the menu with the D pad on the righ, press set with the button on the left.
Put the EVF and multifunctional handgrip on the 240, it’s about as complicated to set up as many of the Japanese cameras, with a lot of menu vists needed
The M8 & 9 have lovely IQ at low ISO, but can’t match modern cameras once the ISO reaches 4 digits
The M240 has a native colour pallet not that dissimilar to all the other 24mp CMOS cameras
Leica has made MASSIVE leaps recently with tech and design, that the M10, Q, SL and TL2 can be compared to similar spec Japanese cameras and hold their ground, especially with ISO (which has always been Leica’s digital achilles heel) is fantastic
But this is a very recent (under 2 years) change.
Most cameras are capable of taking both good and bad images.
To suggest or even hint that any brand can only make great images is, well... let’s just say inaccurate
Well put.
I did make some money on my M8 however after a years ownership (around £200) so I think they hold money to a point and looking to the M9, I found usable images at 1600 and 3200 ISO. The grain is there don't get me wrong, but it's not obtrusive.
I handled and used an M240 for a bit but it just didn't have the same spark as the M9. I'll be honest and say that I can't put my finger on specifically why. It's much more refined. The M9, to me, produced nicer files from the off.
