So many options - but yes, the M10 is a marvelous...

...camera, IMO.  I had the M10 for a year and a half.  It was always a joy to use.  It had an excellent color tonality, handled well (felt great in the hands), and although it looked simple on its exterior (very few knobs and buttons), there were quite a few options in the menu system.

The only reason I sold mine was because eventually I moved on to the M100 - which is also a superb camera.  I was going to keep the M10, but then I would up not using it much because of the M100 and M50.  But I must admit that color tonality-wise, I preferred the color output a "tad" (ever so slightly) better than its successor, the M100.  However, like any other camera, the weakest link will be the quality of the copy of the lens you attach.  The M10 always came with the 15-45 and as you may have seen already, the copy-to-copy variation levels were quite high with this optic.

Look, you have many, many choices from which to select out there - to include the newer (current) models.  However, IMO, if you come across a new M10 at a superb price, there should be no hesitation to pounce on it - provided it can be had for a steal.

Here are some shots showcasing (I think)  the color output of the M10:
