rondeb Posted November 29, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 29, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've ordered an M8 via amazon and the order says Dec. 5th is the "release date". It also says delivery is confirmed before Dec. 22nd. I spoke with Tamarkin today and they have no idea when they'll be getting the new ones and they probably won't have the update models for their event on Thursday. Anyone else here any news on this?

pemayeux Posted November 29, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 29, 2006 My dealer in NY spoke to Leica yesterday and confirmed that his shipment of 'updated' M8s would be in by the end of next week. Hopefully I'll have mine that weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbkell Posted November 29, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 29, 2006 Congrats to all of you who will be getting your M8's soon, My slow simmer is rapidly moving to boil however thinking that your folks are getting "updated" cameras and us poor slobs who have had $5K less in our bank accounts for some time now are on the slow boat to China for repairs at Solms. I cannot imagine a worse way of treating your avid keen customers who were loyal (dumb) enough to be the first buyers of this camera. Is anyone at Leica USA awake and listening????

rondeb Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks for the input. It looks to be a race to the Xmas finish line between the early adopters and the 2nd rounders. Just heard from another dealer that an "intense" customer knows for sure that they'll be arriving this week. We shall see. Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of returning it and then taking an updated one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbkell Posted November 29, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 29, 2006 Have you thought of returning it and then taking an updated one? I certainly have but I have no idea where I would be on the waiting list. Unless Leica do the right thing (swap) it's going to be a long wait with either choice.
