jbl Posted April 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'll admit it, initially I said I didn't get the camera, but from reading reviews, I'm beginning to. That said, one of my concerns is the software. In the M line, the software is basic and mostly reliable. There have been some glaring issues over the years, but they've fixed the most egregious ones (to me), but slowly. The thing that gets me with the T, though, is that it's almost all software. The touchscreen is a great idea, but they really have to get that right and be willing to invest seriously in bug fixes and tweaks. That's my major concern, though I'd still say 60/40 I'm buying. -jbl Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pico Posted April 26, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2014 The thing that gets me with the T, though, is that it's almost all software. How is it more software than the other digital Leica M cameras, please? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbl Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted April 26, 2014 A touch screen interface, the gesture controls, driving so much with interactive software. The M has software too, of course, but the software user interface is an order of magnitude more complicated in the T. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted April 26, 2014 Share #4 Posted April 26, 2014 Somehow I have one already, with the summicron and the visoflex. There are no major issues with the firmware (software) and things will only get better, I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted April 26, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 26, 2014 Interface software should be safely separate from processing firmware. I am fairly confident that it will only become better. Sent from my Etcha-sketch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbl Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share #6 Posted April 26, 2014 I hope so. My concern is the interface software. From the sample images, it looks like they nailed the processing firmware. Does anyone know who made the sensor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thighslapper Posted April 26, 2014 Share #8 Posted April 26, 2014 XV is pretty robust with no real gremlins to speak of ...... and the T is just an extension of that with the menu items arranged on a touch screen with icons etc ...... the increase in complexity is minimal. I get the impression that Leica are finally getting up to speed with the software side of digital (it was out-sourced up till the M240) and I suspect the T implementation is fine ..... at least one reviewer has mentioned he had 2 updates whilst using a pre-release camera that dramatically increased AF speed and accuracy .... so their response time and implementation of fixes seems to have greatly improved ....... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbl Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted April 27, 2014 That sounds good. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexS Posted September 3, 2018 Share #10 Posted September 3, 2018 I never had any problem with the software. I have continuous problems with the App (Leica TL ) to get the photos to the iPhone, it never worked. I don.t use (try) it anymore.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 3, 2018 Share #11 Posted September 3, 2018 The sensor is almost certainly by Sony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 3, 2018 Share #12 Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I hope I am on the right thread! Just wanted to say I am glad we have more time to edit our post. For my kind of English, it is very helpful. It would be great if with a new luf software, besides having EXIFs, we could also be able to remove (delete) our post (thread) when necessary, without annoying any MOD.

jaapv Posted September 3, 2018 Share #14 Posted September 3, 2018 Sensor is the same as on X2 16 vs 24 MP? Two generations difference in ISO performance? Different architecture? The only things that are the same are the physical size and the maker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
