Advertisement Posted October 27, 2010 Posted October 27, 2010 Hi grober, Take a look here X1 firmware update. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Nicoleica Posted October 27, 2010 Share #2 Â Posted October 27, 2010 Probably on either the tenth of January, or the eleventh of November next year. Â Â Edit: For US customers the January date does not apply. The first US date would be October first next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicoleica Posted October 27, 2010 Share #5 Â Posted October 27, 2010 You sure it isn't April 1st next year? Â Could be. But I was thinking X.I.XI or XI.XI.XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanCderidder Posted November 2, 2010 Share #8 Â Posted November 2, 2010 grober, somewhere around march apparently. Â As for the replies in your thread ... don't worry about they are from people in a much more deprived mental state than the average Leica user. It seems like most of them can only show off their wittiness (if you want to call it that at least) in some forum. Shouldn't look for answers here my friend, just occupied by a bunch of poor s*ds always looking how and where they can make their point, obviously thinking they have one. Â have fun and enjoy yourself with the X1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted November 2, 2010 Share #9 Â Posted November 2, 2010 Jan, why do you say march? Did they make another announcement? If so I missed it...last I read was November. Â On an aside it's nice not to see firmwear in the title...which always makes me think of underarmor or spandex bike shorts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjh Posted November 8, 2010 Share #10  Posted November 8, 2010 Did they make another announcement? If so I missed it...last I read was November. The semi-official statement at photokina was that a firmware update might be due near the end of the year, which I would take to mean December rather than November. Taking into account the usual slippage it might turn out to be January or February.  You don’t have to ask – nobody really knows anyway and rest assured: once it’s there you will hear about it soon enough.

jsrockit Posted November 15, 2010 Share #11 Â Posted November 15, 2010 Ok, I heard from a friend... who spoke to someone who may be in the know about this firmware update (I know this sounds like BS, but... ) that it actually does speed up the autofocus to "usable." Now, I'm not saying that I heard it is super fast, but I've heard that it is a hell of a lot better than now. I also heard that Sean Reid has one with the updated firmware and is testing it. This is all rumor, but perhaps it could be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeTexas Posted January 4, 2011 Share #12 Â Posted January 4, 2011 If it's coming this month, it would most likely be announced this week at CES. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan K Posted January 4, 2011 Share #13 Â Posted January 4, 2011 I thought this too but I don't think Leica are at CES. Â I emailed Solms about X1 firmware and autofocus late last year and received a reply confirming that they were working on a firmware update that included improvements to autofocus. Their plan for 'roll-out' is for early this year. Â My offer of being a beta tester was also declined (all the testing had been done apparently). Â It's hard to know what they mean by early this year but it seems to be on its way.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipy2691 Posted January 5, 2011 Share #14  Posted January 5, 2011 Here is the reply I got from Leica USA. Hope this helps.  Yves   Dear Sir,  I was able to confirm that the Leica factory in Germany is looking to address the speed of the AF in a future firmware upgrade. The next upgrade is not expected until sometime in the new year, perhaps by the end of the winter. Keep in mind that purchasing a camera at the same time does not guarantee the new version is already loaded but users can do the upgrade themselves at home.   Best regards, Mark Brady Leica Camera Inc. / Technical Advisor 1 Pearl Court, Unit A / Allendale, NJ 07401 / USA  Email address deleted by Moderator.

Guest badbob Posted January 6, 2011 Share #20 Â Posted January 6, 2011 The X1 will be irrevalent by the time they release the firmware update... Â I'll bet the X1 never becomes irrelevant, because nobody will have the guts to produce a camera with its image quality in a package that small. People can argue viewfinders all they want to, but that is literally(!) a peripheral issue. Look at one more example - the Minox circa 1950's to 1960's had the sharpest lens ever made for a consumer camera, and with Agepe FF film could produce amazing prints up to 11 x 14 inches. And still, despite all digital progress, there is no high quality digital camera that small. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
