Leica Mayfair have told me my camera may likely be written off, which is very common with water damage. But they're going to pick it up later this week and have it inspected in Germany, so I'll know more then.
I am wondering if it is written off... I haven't kept up to date with all the variations of cameras that Leica have put out... is the M10 better, indefinitely? I don't use video. Or is there something else to look at?
Sorry to hear about that, hopefully it can be repaired.
M10 - I feel it is more responsive, much higher frame rate buffer, 1-2 stops better High ISO, generally improvements in many areas. I'm impressed with the sensor they used (although it has issues like random banding at higher ISO). Give it a try at the store. Otherwise M240 or M262 (or other variants) are still great cameras just like the M9 is.
Two negatives with M10 (for me): 1. start up is way to slow, it is supposed to be 1.5s but feels like forever.. but one can leave it on /standby. 2. battery life - you will probably need two batteries (or more). I miss longer M240 battery life.

Thanks Joe. I read different things on the battery life. Is it much worse for those using LV or the EVF? Or intensive shooting? If I'm doing casual shooting I can take 300-400 or more photos over a week and still have lots of battery left in the M240. Is that not possible with the M10? The battery life is honestly one of my most love features...

For me 300-400, maybe 450 shots is probably tops without LV/EVF. Probably 1/2 of that if used with LV/EVF. M10 drains fast, and it doesn't help that Leica sells the most expensive camera batteries. Not sure about other M10 user experiences on this thread?
Yes, I agree, with M240 I have gone out for a day (or days) shooting without a spare battery. With the M10 I am more cautious and carry a spare. The charger is AC or 12Vdc, no USB port so you can't plug and charge on computers, etc.
I would say it is probably a small trade off for the other improvements we get.

For me, the M10 is DEFINITELY worth the upgrade. I'm not having the slow start up Joe's having. Maybe a different card? I turn the switch and by the time the camera's at my eye I can shoot immediately.
With the RF I'm at around 400 shots on a battery compared to about 600 on my M-P. I don't mind an extra battery in my pocket either. And weirdly, being smaller it's easier to have a spare with you.
The M10 is significantly faster than the M. Hit the play button and it's there. No waiting to zoom in on an image. VF blackout (if you care) is maybe only 20% as long as on the M-P. Rangefinder is better with tricky/fast/long lenses.
And lastly, the M-P is exactly the right thickness for me to always be putting a smear on the RF illumination window. With the M10 I hold it a bit differently and almost never need to wipe the little window.

Thank you my friend. Too much hardware. Too little time to use everything. The MM? I've been thinking too long. And away she was. But I always keep my eyes open

Here is a shot that I felt I had to rough up a bit. Actually, with this one I go back and forth between the color and B&W versions. The flags in the background are the former Ethiopian (royal) flag, as this is the entrance to the T&C Rastafarian headquarters, though I don't know whether this boat has anything to do with this.
