The M10-P Reporter is a new and limited-edition camera, developed by German company Leica, that is designed to take inspiration from the ballistic clothing reminiscent of battlefields and provide a sense of ruggedness and durability.
Launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Leica's highly prized Oskar Barnack Award photography contest, this limited-edition camera features the same specifications that made the original M10-P so popular, namely its 24-megapixel CMOS sensor, 3-inch display and WiFi functionality.
However, what well and truly makes this special-edition camera stand out among other Leica offerings is its Kevlar exterior, which replaces the leather-style coating on the regular M10-P camera. In addition to giving the camera a distinct aesthetic, this Kevlar feature also adds to its durability and ability to withstand the elements.
