Yeah, I'd also like to see the currently set shutter speed in the OVF.
I like the look of the silver but I always get black. Never had experience with black chrome. Is it more durable? That said, my black M240 has held up OK. Maybe it's a sign I'm not shooting enough.
Interesting about adding electronic shutter via firmware. Glad you're keeping up with all the developments. It would be a shame if it only added a couple speeds at the top end. A full range of electronic shutter speeds would make me seriously reconsider getting an M10 sooner, even if it wasn't a global electronic shutter, which I doubt it would be. One pitfall might be 'bokeh degradation' as shown by the Sony electric shutter at higher speeds.
Rick, yes, you're right about it being three parameters. Already with the M240 the feeling was the viewfinder border corresponded to 24mm. It would seem the M10 makes this easier to see.
Michael, yes I think sooner will be better than later. Might as well enjoy the improvements, if the budget allows. Question is what performance parameters will be improved in the 'P' version.
Hi Ron,
Yes the Black Chrome is much more durable than the paint. Can't say it is more durable than the Chrome Chrome. Leica discontinued the Black Chrome some years ago. I believe all of my R camera bodies were and are Black Chrome, something that Leica used to be pround to sell. I still have my R4SP, R7, and R8 in Black Chrome as was my sold R4S which Leica USA modified so that it was almost a true R4SP; I also believe my sold R3 MOT was also Black Chrome. Really pretty and durable stuff.
