Leica m typ 240 vs leica m e typ 220?

The Leica M (Typ 240) is the better all-round choice of these two. It has 24 megapixels against the M-E (Typ 220)'s 18, and it's the first M with a CMOS sensor, live view and video. The trade-off is that it's thicker than the M10.

The Leica M-E (Typ 220) is a lower-priced M9 with the same 18-megapixel CCD sensor. If you want the M9 character and a simpler camera, it's a sensible pick. If you want more resolution and modern features, go for the Leica M (Typ 240).

Both take the same M lenses. For a versatile first lens on either, try the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH or the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. For a Typ 220 with a bit more character, see the M-E (Typ 220) page.
