Nice overview. A couple of questions though. Any sensor dust issues and how robust do you think the rear command buttons will be in long term use? Reason? Used prices are coming down so I’m seriously considering buying. Thanks.
Brooklyn Shooters Channel Crop sensor offering more than enough resolution for anyone outside of a print exhibition. Lack of an IR filter providing unequalled and much favoured black and white conversions. Sure the shutter cocking sounds like the landing gear extending on a 747, but atrocious? No. :)
All relative; they are both lighter than my Nikon D5. By the way, the reason I started buying Leica is because I loved the M8; first Leica M I bought. The IR cut out filter is not a deal breaker at all. These two gentlemen reminded me of the shoppers in a Rolex watch shop comparing various designs but I am yet waiting for a Rolex that can tell me a more accurate time than my cheap solar powered watch which synchronise itself to a remote atomic clock.
Hey... Hello . I wanna use the black tape to care about my Leica MP black paint body. so that the camera straps can not scratch the body. so what kind of tape is my choice ? Thank you ~~~
awesome! Looking forward to it. if you get a chance can you also upload more angles of the new 35 summicron on the 240 onto your flickr? pics of the new lenses on a body are rare at the moment.
Would love that you guys toned down the technical aspect and focused on the usability aspect. You are in a beautiful city and you could take advantage of that. Showing us the camera in is natural habitat. Otherwise great work, i see this channel getting big.
Thanks! We are trying to figure out the best way to do some filming outdoors while we walk around and shoot without standing out too much. We feel that's something that people will be interested in seeing.
From what I'm told it's the same sensor although I think the engine has been tweaked a bit after using the M240 for the past two weeks and comparing files.
+Ben Reeve I've seen Leica marketing it as a slightly different sensor, but from what I could read elsewhere, it is the same sensor - but they are using the units that aren't up to spec for video in the M262.
Re-watching this video and I'm still minded to say (again), you are quite mistaken about the M8. But I think this channel is more about gear than photography.
That new leica cmos sensor is laughable compared to a7rii sensor. I can not understand why luxury companies won't put the best components in their products. Same with Vertu, for example.
yeah , too much talking about your feelings and zero images , even if it is the same sensor sample pics say more then repeating the same thing over and over. Just as an aside , I often wonder why anyone would even shoot a digi leica if what attracted you to the brand in the first place is form and quality, I love leica but I get better digital files from other gear then anything the red dot has produced .
Shayne, if you listened there is a Flickr gallery with many full Res sample images. Check the video description and continue not buying Leica gear. Thanks!
+Shayne McGowan I don't feel like regurgitating spec sheets and numbers. If that's the kind of information you're looking for then you might feel more at home at DXO Mark or DP Review. Showing images from the same sensor that just have minor tweaks isn't going to matter much after a preset in LR anyways.
The M8 is a stellar camera, FYI.
Yeah the M8 is stellar... look at the images from this Leica M8 shooter ua-cam.com/video/a5E808o2pNc/v-deo.html
Nice review guys. FYI the aluminium surfaces on the M262 are anodised, not black chrome (you can't chrome plate aluminium).
Thank you for the review guys, I have bought a M 262 from Germany and I love it :)
Can't wait to review my first Leica. I bought one from an auction - but it was broken sadly.
Love this channel guys.
Just ordered the 262 - was super worried about "brassing" but it seems like you guys put it in perspective for me :D Thank you
Liking the videos guys! Keep it up =) Just one suggestion from me, show us more photos!
Thanks guys that was very helpful and informative.. there might be an M262 in my future..

No love for the M8? That camera produced gorgeous images as only a ccd sensor could.
Good video guys, I like the 262 a lot. Strikes me as almost a purists digital M , with only the essentials you need.
Just came across your channel, interesting videos. Keep it up!
+Tim Heubeck Thanks dude, love your stuff as well. I (Brennan) have been following you on IG for a long time now.
+Brooklyn Shooters Channel thanks man! Will check yours out for sure now :)
Great comparison but please go wash your mouth out. The M8 is not an atrocious camera.
crop sensor that requires external IR filter. Nah. I'll pretty much always pass on that.

the brassing is enough for me to drop the extra dough... its a nice touch
I couldn't agree more. A well-brassed M is the sex.

Would someone be so kind and tell me what the song in the intro is
Awesome! My dream camera ;) By the way I love your videos :)
awesome video!
$5000? I'll stick to my M2 and M3 ha ha
Thanks for the videos guys!!
Isn't the m8 made of brass top and bottom, why would it wear to silver?
It doesn’t. Brasses beautifully.
Why 262 cost more than 240 on ebay?
Do you have (or can you create) a vid/tutorial on how you calibrated your m240 with live view?!?
I'll see if I can
awesome! Looking forward to it. if you get a chance can you also upload more angles of the new 35 summicron on the 240 onto your flickr? pics of the new lenses on a body are rare at the moment.
iamkidaradio I did upload one or two.
cool, the 262 seems pretty sweet.

+Brooklyn Shooters Channel Go for it. Waiting to see that =)
Is the sensor really the same. I heard the 262 is the same 24mp but is actually a new sensor. Can you confirm? Love my 262 by the way, and my M6.
From what I'm told it's the same sensor although I think the engine has been tweaked a bit after using the M240 for the past two weeks and comparing files.

This is my favorite M video...

Have you abandoned this channel? Pity I just found it.
you need to do more videos. pleeeeease
Aluminium...
