Leica may run two M lines. The M8, M9, M10 etc line, which is kept as a classic rangefinder, and a M 'Type XXX' line, that incorporates the latest tech wizardry.
Or, as suggested above, the other lines such as the SL take that focus.
Either would work for me, I want a thinner, lighter, more basic Leica M10.
I do agree with this in principal. The only issue I personally have with this is that the price for a M10 will cost far more than any hyper-technologically advanced Sony mirrorless FF camera. And here is the issue: I wouldn't mind to have a M10 with less technological features, but I don't want to pay a price for it which is far more than competitive mirrorless models with latest sensor technology for example - taking into account that the Leica brand name is always more expensive of course.
Let me put it this way, the last Leica camera body that I purchased was my Leica R8 that I purchased brand new in 1998. However, since then I have purchased 6 Leica R lenses and 3 Leica M lenses. As nice as the Leica M land SL cameras are to operate, I do not finde them cost effective enough and too restrictive for me and I have Sony A7r cameras which I use with all of my Leica R, Leica M. and other lenses. I find their lenses more important to me than the Leica camera bodies due to their capabilities and MP performance.
