Leica M10-P
A digital rangefinder camera with a quiet shutter and stealth design, announced in 2018 as a refined variant of the M10.
Overview
The Leica M10-P is a digital rangefinder camera introduced on 21 August 2018. It builds on the M10 platform and aims at discretion and quiet operation. The shutter is described as "the quietest M camera ever," which suits street, documentary, and architectural work where you don't want to disturb anyone. The sensor is the same 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS, and the processor is the same Maestro II as in its predecessor. In the lineup it sits between the standard M10 and the higher-resolution M10-R.

Design
The M10-P looks stealthier than other M-series models. The biggest change is that the red Leica dot is gone from the front. The top plate has been rearranged to go with that minimalist look. The quieter shutter fits the same idea, since the camera is meant for candid and sensitive shooting environments.
Context
Announced on 21 August 2018, the M10-P was positioned as a refined version of the M10. It has the same core imaging performance, with a quieter shutter and a subtler look. Leica described it as "the same stellar camera as the M10 with a quieter shutter" and pointed to the top plate design that omits the red dot. It fills the gap between the standard M10 and the higher-resolution M10-R.
