Just to let folks know. I guess I won't be upgrading anytime soon.

I got the product info in my mail as well and had a quick look at the supported cameras.

Maybe they work on it when the other new Leica products hit the user.

The X2 is also not on the list, but that might be a the same as X1

Yes, its a shame. For Monochrom, Photo Ninja is an alternative to LR4.

thanks, swamiji... that's exactly what i was searching for. no reason for me to upgrade either.

I check the Phase One users forum regularly and Phase One was taking a lot of heat there because Capture One did not support some of the recently released Nikon bodies. Those bodies are now supported in version 7. I did not see any complaints about the Leica S2 or Monochrom not being supported so I guess the squeeky wheels got the grease. You might want to create a support case for the missing Leica models. That seems to be the way to get their attention. Version 7 is a big improvement over version 6 and well worth the upgrade price.

Hi Luke, the S2 is not supported because it is being seen as competition to the Phase One digital backs. The M9 was the last Leica that was offered as package deal with Capture 1.

I am curious now if that means PhaseOne is going to ignore all new Leica's including the new M, or it is just their private war against the S2?

Anyway I do not see how this 'competitor thinking' in the end will help PhaseOne as a company.

Whether customers buy a PhaseOne camera or an S2, an S2 customer of C1 is a customer as well. With their current policy they lose twice.

that would be understandable if they make more money from cameras than from selling software. I think PO it is a different system after all.

M8 (M8.2?) it was. M9 came with LR I think, at least mine was

I don't think they do have this kind competitor thinking. How about Aperture, they do not support MM. Not sure about S and DXO is also not up to all Leica
