[Leica] Leica M10

[Bill Pearce]

Cameras are designed by committees of marketers and engineers, both people 
that tend to load cameras with unimportant features. One of those is video. 
I'll bet that many of us on this list, photographers all, have never shot a 
video with our digital camera,

How much effective time has been lost with the smaller battery? 5% 10% 25%

I’ve never had a problem changing batteries on any camera. Even by 
power-hungry Sony A7Rii lets me shoot much of a day and changing the battery 
takes moments.

So is this simply a specification issue or is it a real problem?

I see the M10 as being what a digital Leica should be. Every “modern” 
digital I have shoots video. The number of times I have used that 
capability? Less than 1% of the time I spend taking photos and literally no 
one has ever seen the video results. Hard to hang video on the wall 
(although the new LG TV might make me eat those words).
