nigelb Posted March 18, 2011 Share #10 Posted March 18, 2011 april 8th 2011, seriously. You sure you've got the correct year? I heard release would be sometime this eon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanlow Posted March 19, 2011 Share #11 Posted March 19, 2011 Probably X2 is based on original X1 set with firmware 2.0? That saves us for the upgrade. =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoskeptic Posted March 19, 2011 Share #12 Posted March 19, 2011 Reminds me of the old ad: we will sell no wine before its time. Frankly I'm rather pleased Leica hasn't released the new firmware yet. It means they are tweaking or improving the firmware. Be assured when it's released it will be terrific . Actually the firmware updates for the M8 were timely and accurate. I stopped downloading new firmware after the second upgrade because they fixed the items that affected my photography, there was no need for me to bother with any upgrades after that one.

h00ligan Posted March 19, 2011 Share #13 Posted March 19, 2011 What makes you think they are still tweaking and testing? There could be other reasons it isn't out yet. A) they want to see that fuji doesn't copy them. they want to copy fuji c) they want to try and steal thunder from fuji. Just saying, lack of release in no way indicates active improvement, were that true, it would be firmware 3.0 by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phancj Posted March 19, 2011 Share #14 Posted March 19, 2011 I got a strong feeling the FW upgrade will be VERY GOOD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 19, 2011 Share #15 Posted March 19, 2011 I'm sure that Leica already have several X100s and will be working on taking one apart, seeing how they have made it and picking up ideas for an X2. I seriously doubt that they have held back firmware to try to spoil Fuji's party. The launch of firmware isn't going to get a nearly 2 year old camera on the front of all the amateur photo mags round the world. A brand new camera will. I'm not sure what there is for Fuji to copy from firmware, but if they don't want it copied they will -never- release it. Leica seem to have no reason not to release it, other than it hasn't improved anything, doesn't work at all or makes something worse. They will release it when they are completely satisfied with it and not before. Note that there hasn't been an M9 firmware update for months either.

The M9 had its share of FW upgrades, as had the S2. The X1 however....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk60091 Posted March 19, 2011 Share #19 Posted March 19, 2011 The M9 had its share of FW upgrades, as had the S2. The X1 however....... I recall that the digilux2 had exactly 1 upgrade and that upgrade took quite some time after product launch to be released and I don't think any of the clux's have had any firmware changes, the dlux4 had 1 1/2 (one upgrade and a do over to fix the upgrade. I am sure Leica doesn't want to revisit that experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
h00ligan Posted March 19, 2011 Share #20 Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, and frankly...the firmware updates are directly proportional to revenue I'm sure. As they should be. Anyway, I'm basically no expecting much at this point. If or when it arrive, it arrives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
