jaapv Posted December 4, 2011 Share #42 Posted December 4, 2011 That is a bit strange. Surely software is identical for al users? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
01af Posted December 4, 2011 Share #43 Posted December 4, 2011 Surely software is identical for all users? The software surely is. Cameras and cards obviously aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted December 4, 2011 Share #44 Posted December 4, 2011 I wonder though, over the last two years, how many unannounced subtle hardware changes, if any, were introduced by Leica into the manufacturing process to cope with problems?

jaapv Posted December 4, 2011 Share #45 Posted December 4, 2011 If so, Leica will implement any relevant ones in any camera that comes in for service and has to be opened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reds Posted December 5, 2011 Share #48 Posted December 5, 2011 Unscientific test #99. Just loaded up one of the 'naughty' cards:- A Sandisk 32Gig Extreme HD Video (30 MB/s transfer rate) and fired off a couple of quick tests: - Single drive mode, Compressed DNG & 1Meg Basic JPEG in B&W. Consistenly got 7 consecutive shots before buffer filled. Time from first shutter press to buffer clear, (so inc the time for the 7 shots). 55s @ ISO 2500 47s @ ISO 160 Give or take a sec or two. Doesn't feel any slower than before, and that was with a naughty card as I mentioned. 1.174 Seems ok here I'd say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted December 5, 2011 Share #49 Posted December 5, 2011 Firmware 1.174 DNG uncompressed Sandisk 32Gb Extreme HD Video 20 MB/s ISO 400 7 shots on C and processing took 26 seconds. 2400 ISO - ~30 seconds processing 160 ISO ~26 seconds Again at 160 but with a more complex scene (backyard covered in snow) - 26 seconds Tested with 7 compressed DNG - 160 ISO, 20 seconds! I'm good with the results, however I rarely shoot on C. I'm a slow shooter. EDIT: 20mb per second card Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted December 5, 2011 Share #50 Posted December 5, 2011 Weird on the new firmware. I don't use Sandisk cards, but do shoot with large capacity (8GB / 16GB) cards. I upgraded the firmware and over the last three weddings I didn't notice any slow-down at all with the M9. Is this only on the Sandisk SD cards? Jamie, which brand of SD cards do you use so successfully? A test for my brand loyalty! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted December 6, 2011 Share #51 Posted December 6, 2011 Jamie, which brand of SD cards do you use so successfully? A test for my brand loyalty! LOL I've been using Panasonic SD HC Class 10 Gold cards (UHS and non-UHS), and they've been great with the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
