I give you that, the DR of the Leica M10 could be better and I wish it would be on the level of Nikon D850 at low ISO (less than 200) ... nevertheless nothing that prevented me from buying one as soon as I could.In Leica’s own words, it is supposed to have a new 24mp sensor that offers higher DR. The first post/ topic of this thread (the DXO) link is diametrically opposed to that claim.
More important, I don't think that Leica has made a false or misleading statement at all:
1) As others have stated here, I see a clear improvement in DR between the M240 and M10 after six months of day-to-day use, especially at higher ISO (800 onwards) and shadow recovery (you must expose for highlights).
2) This is also reflected in William Claffs test site:
Claff-DR versus ISO Setting
... no crazy big improvement for sure, but very tangible .. and you can see in this testing that the DR of the M10 is virtually the same as the Nikon D850 at 200 ISO and above
3) even DXO detailed comparative measurements of DR at different ISO reflect this improvement and my real-life experience (click measurements and then dynamic range):
DXO-DR versus ISO Setting
The DXO so called "score" only tells something about maximum DR (at low ISO), but nothing about DR at different ISO settings
