Since the retailer honored the original price before the Leica increase, I went for it.
Now I have an M240 and D810 to sell this week, oh joy, lol!
Then no need to give a comparison of my M10 against my 10 year old M8........ I went for it.....
What ISO dial stuff? I really like the ISO dial. Being able to just look down and see what ISO is set as well as being able to see aperture and shutter speed at just a quick glance down without having to go to the LCD t see ISO I think is a real plus.I ordered an M10 on Feb 5th and after about 3 months of waiting, I cooled off on it, especially with the ISO dial stuff. So I got the call today that it is in and I have until end of business tomorrow to claim it.
I have this problem on my M10, ISO dial stopped working after 2 weeks. I heard the same from some friends. Only work around is using the menu for ISO.What ISO dial stuff? I really like the ISO dial.

Chris Tribble on the LUF has been shooting heavily with two early sale M10's and sees no problem. I also have an early one, don't use it nearly as much, and it has gone back for repair. Jono Slack has shot an M10 early and often, with no ISO wheel problems. I think the odds are in your favor but I was unlucky.Not had any issues with the ISO dial on my M10 other than the thing is so tough to raise. I wonder if that has been part of the reason people have been having failures due to the amount of manhandling required?
I was lucky enough to get mine pretty early on in the production run and was hoping the iSO dial might loosen up over the last six months but not so far ...
My M10 seems no quieter than my M8 –– different, more metallic, but not noticeably quieter. [Not decibel tested!].I still have my M240 that I am about to list for sale, I should do a decibel test on the two.
My M 262 is a lot quieter than both my MM and my M-E and my M 10 is quitter than my M 262. Maybe you have an issue?My M10 seems no quieter than my M8 –– different, more metallic, but not noticeably quieter. [Not decibel tested!].
In the hand the dimensions, and weight of each are really indistinguishable.
Surprised?

What's interesting is on the Hasselblad X1D, there is a recessed button on the top plate of that camera whereby with a slight, light downward press, it pops up. Then with a light press in the downward direction, it clicks closed. I would have thought Leica could have easily implemented the same thing for the ISO dial. With eye looking into the M10 viewfinder, ones left index finger could lightly press the ISO dial and it could pop up. Then simply rotate it and when done, press lightly downwards to lock into place...all without having to remove ones eye from the viewfinder.Not had any issues with the ISO dial on my M10 other than the thing is so tough to raise.

The X1D control handles the exposure modes (M, A, P, S, etc). These are things I love having a lockable knob for, since I change them so infrequently, where with ISO (like EV Comp) I prefer a direct control that simply stays put when I am not intending to change it.What's interesting is on the Hasselblad X1D, there is a recessed button on the top plate of that camera whereby with a slight, light downward press, it pops up.

The X1D implemented this pop up dial perfectly and Leica could take a cue from its design for an ISO dial. I don't recall what its function was on the X1D but once you have an opportunity to see how this X1D dial works, I think most would be convienced how elegant a solution it could be for future M10 ISO dial.
