[Leica] M10 Rumors..

Fri Dec 9 16:33:05 PST 2016

Unlike most people here, I own ONE dSLR ever - the Olympus E-3, and it's
mainly for event stuff. No switching to the latest Nikon, Canon, Sony, Fuji
etc. for me.

My M9, approaching 7 years old now, is still my go to digital camera. So if
I have $10 grand? Yay, I will buy that new M10...
