I resisted the temptation to slip a reference to the M8's teething pains into my comments about all digital Leicas being collaborations. I was quite sure somebody else would do it, and I didn't have to wait long. The fact that the consumer and semi-pro Leica are released as Panasonics months before their debut as Leicas insulates them from the possibilty of M8-style missteps. The D3, for instance, shipped with firmware that incorporated the Panasonic L1's post-release bug fixes. That said, the Panasonic collaborations are not bleeding-edge technology. The M8 is. Thus, initial release issues were almost inevitable.
