Is the leica m typ 240 worth buying used?

I think it's a sensible used buy. The Leica M (Typ 240) was announced in 2012 and was the first M with a CMOS sensor, live view and video. Its 24-megapixel full-frame sensor still holds up. It has no in-body stabilisation, so use stabilised lenses for slow shutter speeds.

Buying a body that's a generation or two old is one of the best ways to get good gear for less, as explained in buying used. Budget for a new genuine battery, because old ones lose capacity. If you want something cheaper that works the same way, the Leica M-E (Typ 240) is a lower-priced version of the same sensor.
