The Leica M10 is a full-frame digital rangefinder camera in Leica Camera AG's rangefinder M series.{{cite web|access-date=2018-12-06|title=Leica M10: Digital Photography Review|url=https://www.dpreview.com/products/leica/slrs/leica_m10|website=Digital Photography Review}} It accepts Leica M-mount lenses. The camera model was introduced on 19 January 2017. It is a successor to the Leica M (Typ 240); and has similarities to and differences from the Leica M (Typ 240), Leica M (Typ 262), and Leica M Monochrom. There are five variants of the M10 line—the M10, M10-P, M10-D, and M10 Monochrom and M10-R.

Leica M10-P

The Leica M10-P was announced on 21 August 2018. The design of the M10-P differs from that of the M10 by not having Leica's red dot on the front but instead it has Leica's script on its top plate. Apart from this the M10-P features a touchscreen LCD, an electronic level and a quieter shutter mechanism. The M10-P's retailed price is higher than the M10.{{Cite web |url=https://www.dpreview.com/products/leica/slrs/leica_m10_p |title=Leica M10-P: Digital Photography Review |website=www.dpreview.com |access-date=2019-12-17}}

Leica M10-D

Leica M10 (P) Monochrom

The Leica M10 (P) Monochrom was introduced in January 2020 with a new 41 MP full-frame (24x36 mm) CMOS sensor.

Also known as Typ 6376. Leica code number: 20 050.

ISO: 160 to 100,000 (instead of 320 as a minimum limit on the preceding Monochrom Typ 246).

Exposure: 16 min. to 1/4000th sec.

Only exists in black.{{Cite web|url=https://leica-camera.com/en-US/photography/cameras/m/m10-monochrom/downloads|title = Downloads - Leica M10 Monochrom | Leica Camera AG}}

The camera is called "Monochrom" as the sensor is not equipped with a Bayer-array filter which means:

1) it only records intensities of light in black and white (no color image can be obtained from it),

2) as a result of the absence of Bayer Red Green Blue filter it receives more light, is more sensitive with its highest ISO setting being 100,000, shows less noise at high ISOs, renders more (and precise) details (as there is no demosaicing, a digital process generally operated by the camera's processor from the partial information provided by a Bayer-type sensor that only "sees" Blue (or Red) with a quarter of its pixels, the rest has to be "invented" through the demosaicing process).

The Leica M10P Monochrom is the third iteration of such a camera equipped with a black-and-white only sensor, Leica being one of only a few brands manufacturing monochrome non-medium format cameras (Phase One produces the IQ4 Achromatic, Pentax produces the K-3 Mark III Monochrome - an APS-C sensor dSLR).

The first generation started with the Leica M9, equipped with the Kodak 18 MP CCD sensor, in 2012.

The next model, code name Typ 246, was derived from the Leica M240: it had a 24 MP CMOS full-frame sensor, and was released in 2015.

The M10P Monochrom is the third generation of the black-and-white only concept. It shares most of its construction with the (color) M10P released in 2018:

manual focus (with all bayonet Leica M-system lenses and other brand with this mount (called M-mount),
same size (body) as M film cameras (since 1954), reduced from the bulky previous-generations of digital M cameras,
touch-control LCD at the back (no touch control on the original M10 released in 2017),
2 GB buffer (double original 2017 M10)
same Maestro 2 processor
same additional Visoflex 020 (including GPS function)
exposure compensation (+ or - 3 EV)

The main difference between the M10P and the M10P monochrom resides in their respective sensors: color (Bayer-array filter) 24 MP sensor for the M10P, black-and-white 41 MP sensor for the M10P Monochrom.

The Leica M10-R announced on 16 July 2020 has 40 megapixels{{Cite web|url=https://en.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/Leica-M10-R|title = Leica M10-R // Leica M-System // Photography - Leica Camera AG}} compared to the 24-megapixel sensor in the M10. Noise levels are also reduced.

The M10-R is the fifth variant of the M10 line and the company refers to it as the “pinnacle” of the lineup.
