    David, the M (Typ 240) is not discontinued. If you want an EVF, flash triggering capability and tethered shooting…that sounds an awful lot like an SL to me!

    David, why not go with an M or M-P (Typ 240)? That works tethered with the multifunction grip. And you can use your M lenses on the SL don't forget!

    David, I don't think that is a “waste” I think it was just a conscious decision on Leica's part to make the M10/M10-P a more focused, efficient camera. That's why they removed video and simplified both the hardware and software interfaces. There are a number of options for Leica shooters that need to work tethered.

    Oliver, it was 3 seconds and is now 10. I have fixed the article. Thank you for pointing that out! I never use this mode (easier to carry a spare battery or two) so I was not too familiar with how it operated in 3.2. I'll have to try the Shutter Pressed option in the EVF-only mode tomorrow, so I will get back to you on that.
