Which Nikon and Cannon do you want to compare against the Leica M10?

I think if you want to compare cameras then you should compare the same kind of cameras, like DSLR's from Nikon, Canon against a DSLR from Leica!

They are both good. Which is better depending on your preference. A rangefinder is definitely different from an SLR. Both top of the line Canon and Nikon have fewer megapixels than the Leica although their lesser DSLR like the 5DSR and the D810 have more megapixels. The Leica doesn't have AF. Both the Nikon and Canon have very fast AF. The list of differences are long yet which is better is dependent on you.

I guess I want to know about German workmanship and glass compared to Japan and China more than anything. I have long since determined that my cameras are smarter than I am. I have never mastered all their capabilities with film or digital cameras.

For the camera and the most important part of the camera which is the sensor and I don't think the sensor in the Leica made in Germany.

Keep in mind that with a Leica M10 there is NO auto focus and there is a learning curve involved in order to get good manually focused shots. Also, I think the M10 is a range finder type of camera which means you have to coincide the 2 images to make 1 image when in focus. An M10 wouldn't be very good at a sports event.

Read comparisons and specs, and decide what features are important to you.

The IQ of any camera comes from the skill of the photographer, not the camera. It has been and will always be that way.

I have never been a Leica fan. I do not want anyone here to misunderstand me. Leica manufactures excellent cameras and lenses under the strictest control but I have always found the prices beyond the reach of most amateur photographers. Case in point is the 50mm f1.5 Summilux selling for over $3000 and unquestionably the most if not the only 50mm lens available that sells at such an exorbitant price.
When I needed a 50mm lens for my photography I went with a used ($45) Nikon 50mm f1.4 single coated. I am not saying that it is better than the Leica counterpart but I get highly sharp images from it and I bet it will still be there when I am gone.
Modern cameras are all excellent and they have excellent optics. I cannot remember when was the last time in many years that I saw a professional photographer using Leicas.

I owned a Leica IIIc ss. Had two lenses, 50 and 135. Absolutely the best saturated colors I have ever seen.
