chounws Posted February 19, 2016 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Guys, Try to search on any issue of this camera hope to find good and bad but it seem talking only about lack of screen to display and less of functional. I'm interesting on image quality out from the camera compared to M240 and guess it might be some point better due to reduction of complication. But at the end I did bought it the used one with still near to new condition and quite enjoy the ride. I'm still taking photo with the film that make no problem at all to shoot this M60 edition without function to preview, and on the setting of the camera, it still can setting electronically more than M7 (I have no problem with setting of M7 and sometime I feelling better on it due to mechanically). So far I'm very happy on using this camera. Beside the beutifulness of this camera the image performance on my judgement is at lest on par with M240 but ...but what I hate is why on Leica officail web site got no firmware information and when I try to register it, it not show this model on drop down list, so I cannot make a register. Any body got an idea and any of issue could share with me, thank you vry much. All the best from Thailand. Choun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted February 19, 2016 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2016 There will be no difference in image quality, nor in reliability - except that parts that are not there cannot go wrong. One buys this camera for the concept, not for technical reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brill64 Posted February 19, 2016 Share #3 Posted February 19, 2016 i guess firmware update is the same as M-240? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chounws Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted February 19, 2016 Yes just by now the answer back from Leica service representative that on the register site need to select the ordinary M240 which now it can be registered and also the answer on firmware is to use the latest one from M240. Any body know how to check from the photo it taken that which is the firmware I got now, thank you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrödinger's cat Posted February 19, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2016 Brings to mind a comment by a late vice president of General Motors: "Parts not installed cost nothing, and cause no warranty problems." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrödinger's cat Posted February 19, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2016 Any body know how to check from the photo it taken that which is the firmware I got now, thank you.

chounws Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted February 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Found this on Lightroom exif metadata of both camera photo M240 software 2.0.2.5 M60 software 0.6.0.3 Did any body know this 0.6.0.3 is latest one? Thanks M60 exif.tiffm240 exif.tiff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted February 19, 2016 Share #8 Posted February 19, 2016 My M60 also shows 0.6.0.3. I haven't updated the firmware, so yours probably has the original version too. I've had no problems with my camera in nearly a year of ownership, so I don't worry about the firmware version, after all, there's not much they can change or add. I hope you continue to enjoy your camera and your photography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrödinger's cat Posted February 20, 2016 Share #9 Posted February 20, 2016 Found this on Lightroom exif metadata of both camera photo M240 software 2.0.2.5 M60 software 0.6.0.3 Thanx for posting this. I checked in Photoshop and did not see this information. Wonder if I overlooked it or if they don't show the same exact same fields? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted February 21, 2016 Share #10 Posted February 21, 2016 One buys this camera for the concept, not for technical reasons. Is that why I bought it? Thanks for clarifying that for me, Jaap. I have a later firmware version, I think - installed when the camera went back to Wetzlar. When that will be released, I don't know. As others have said, the M60 is, at its core (sensor, buffer, shutter etc) an M(240), so the image quality will be the same, all things being equal. The reality is, all things rarely are.

chounws Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share #11 Posted February 22, 2016 Since I'm not so sure about the firmware exclusively for M Edition 60, then asking again the service representative on my area whether the firmware for M 240 can be update on M Edition 60 or not. The answer is "As of today there is no firmware update on Leica M Edition 60, Please do not update your camera with V2.0.2.5, this is for normal M240 & MP240" So I will not do it since the camera work very well. Just post this for your guys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for your replied, I just like to learn which is your M Edition 60 firmware now on it. May be have a look the pics attached on my post#7 the way to find software version with Lightroom metadata. Thanks very if you could, all the best from Thailand.

chounws Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share #15 Posted February 23, 2016 Latest news, the answer from Customer Care support from Wetzlar I quoted the firmware version 2.0.2.5 is for the regular model LEICA M (240), not valid for the special edition LEICA M60. The internal parameter are slightly different and you’ll not able to install it. The FW you mentioned is the current version, no up-date needed so no need up date for now, clear.
