Focus Peaking-On previous models, Focus Peaking was very temperamental when it worked at all.
LEICA M10 P UPGRADE
Built-in Wi-Fi-Wi-Fi was the most obvious upgrade Leica could offer and it should work well with the app.Favorites-The menu now has a favorites feature for even faster access.Shower and Dust Proof-As a photographer living in the Pacific Northwest, I don’t expect my rangefinders to be waterproof, but the seal is a nice feature.
LEICA M10 P ISO
And, the M10-P improves the view of the subject. The M stands for Messsucher, which is a combined rangefinder and viewfinder. The only branding is on the top plate with a signature, and the place of origin is on the back-Germany of course. A classically minimalist camera, especially with a prime like a 35mm should go relatively unnoticed, especially in all black. As a street shooter, I completely understand the desire for subtlety. It doesn’t have a red dot logo on the front, and its mechanical shutter is barely audible. The M10-P is for the Leica shooter that wants to be even more discreet. A level guide is featured, too, and the slimness of the body is notable in the hand, but it only weighs a few grams less than the M-P, the classic, and that’s because of the magnesium die-cast housing. The back of the M10-P now features a touchscreen enabling live view and playback modes, swiping and pinch-to-zoom like the TL, which is all about the Leica shooting experience. Like the CL, placing the most-used controls on the top plate means a photographer rarely needs to press the menu button, which is joined by only two other buttons: review and live view. With the news about the camera under embargo, I had just a few minutes with it and immediately noticed the almost silent shutter and placement of the ISO setting dial on the top plate-similar to the film rewind button on their MA and MP bodies. While in Brooklyn for a weekend shoot with Sony on World Photography Day, I got my hands on a Leica M10-P.
