The M10 will NEVER look as cool as a well used black paint M9. It's the only digital camera I know which gets seriously gorgeous with age....
Sorry for you Joakim... DSC09786 by unoh7, Badge of Honor
That look took 3 years of constant use. Still shoots great too. I'm not stopping now. Even with the sewing machine shutter.
And since the M10 won't wear pretty, I guess the real question is: why use brass at all? If I can't get the "look", I'd just as soon have a light strong material and carry less
Omission of black paint....wow....that's worse than lack of video Way worse....as it's a historical cult aspect central to the entire Leica mythos.
What are they thinking......
Oh I get it, less future resistance to upgrade
Here it was a month after I got it: DSC08424 by unoh7, Green M
you know leitz was ashamed of the painted chrome when they started doing it to cut costs, right?
it still looks super ugly to me, i like the black and silver look much better.
Aren't you the guy who thinks the M240 is bloated compared to M9?
i'm the guy who thinks the m240 continued further down the path of bloat that m9 had already gone too far on for my taste. what does that have to do with my opinion on the aesthetics of black paint on brass?
But it didn't. The 262 (M240 frame) is near identical weight and effectively thinner, or did you miss that? Which since the battery is so much bigger, is actually less bloat. The 240 had extra 60 grams for video and the battery.

You can't admit you are mistaken Derek, so sad.
So how can I trust your opinions about brass?
