M10 Monochrom overview
The Leica M10 Monochrom is a 40.9 MP full-frame rangefinder for Leica M, announced by Leica in January 2020. It has been followed by the Leica M11 Monochrom.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light as well as landscape and detail. It is a weaker pick for slow handheld shots with unstabilised lenses, paid jobs that need a backup card and fast action.
No store we track in Australia lists it today. It is listed in the United States.
Worth comparing it with the Leica M11 Monochrom, Leica M10-R and Leica Q2 Monochrom.

Each price is in its own currency, as the store charges it. The ≈ figures are approximate, at today's exchange rate (ECB reference rates, 2026-11-06), rounded, and leave out shipping, import duty, GST/VAT and card fees.

Low light & noise
4.6 µm pixels
40.9 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 100,000
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
