Somehow, I think that they will send it back and said there is nothing wrong about my S2. I've tried to figure it out and I feel that it might be SD/CF card problems because the problem never occurred when I used the cable shooting…[Read more]

    The bench is heated, and the capes they wear on the bench are very warm.

    Perhaps CMOS would be a wise decision for Leica because on the MF forums there seems to be a high demand for better high ISO and live-view, so this could bring in new customers for the S. If Leica manages to keep the price of entry…

    Hi David,

    We have tried that too. But unfortunately, using the EVF equals to using LV and there is time delay between pressing the shutter and the shutter react. Not practical for fashion or baby photography!
