After an Iceland trip and some photography with gloves I urgently wish for ISO button. Its simply maddening to have a camera thats supposed to be aimed at photographers without the ability to adjust ISO. The wee, small, tiny, microscopic ISO button is difficult enough to operate barehanded, and simply cannot be operated with gloves.

 

So, how about implementing a ISO button? I mean, how hard can it be to allow the photographer access to the main photographic parameters?

 

And, did I mention a quicker start-up time?

I want camera software to self correct or map out the dead pixel line. No other camera company has this problem. Certainly they get dead or stuck pixels, but either the camera takes care of it or Adobe does.

 

This whole dead line is totally unacceptable among most expensive cameras sold. Having to ship and retrieve a camera for a stupid problem is unacceptable.

 

I will not buy a new one until this issue is resolved or one camera I already own goes beyond repair.

There is an ISO button but it takes two hands to work it. Also how hard can it be to have the ISO menu in a color that can be read outdoors. The existing red menu is really really hard to see, and changing that to white should be really really easy.

Agree. In fact this is one of the points where M9 is better. I has small bumpy buttons instead of flat M buttons. The M9 buttons can just barely be handled with gloves. Strange choice of Leica to discontinue the good solutions, and introduce new and worse? Must be something about design, perhaps the learned from the rotten apple side?

 

Still a excellent and most joyful camera. Nothing close to this for enjoying photo.

What do you want in the next digital M?

 

1) no rangefinder

2) the best EVF build-in possible

3) auto focus

4) easier way to access to battery and SD card

 

5) a 135 f/2 or 2.4

6) a 43mm Noctilux or Summilux :-)

It is called an A7…..

But it won't be an M....
Something without itself will not be a premiere in the world (every politician knows it)

 

but you are right I would like a Sony A7 100% made by Leica , I never use the RF on the M

 

 

5) body stabilization
