Stupid Leica M10-D comes with no screen and pointless film advance lever and costs $8k

Seriously. Who would want a digital camera that doesn't even let you see the images you've taken and drains the batteries if you use your phone to look at them? For eight grand?

I spent a few days shooting with the M10-D and personally, I don’t think I want to give up the conveniences of being able to quickly look at my shots while I’m on the go. The M series of cameras are already difficult to shoot with, especially if you’re used to modern autofocus and autoexposure, and can take years of practice to become proficient with. Without the ability to quickly check my work on the back of the camera, I found that I missed far more shots than I nailed and ended up frustrated more often than not. My kids, who have lived their entire lives with a digital camera shoved in their faces, were often disappointed that they couldn’t immediately see the picture I just took of them, as well.

Leica’s new M10-D is a digital camera with an analog soul
