I'm in Europe, and I waited some 12 weeks for a turnaround at Solms. They were kind enough to send a spare battery to compensate for the inconvenience. I rather suspect that there was a worldwide shortage of replacement sensors due to the high failure rates, and it has taken some time for manufacture to keep up with demand.

I dropped it off at Leica USA around the New year. They told me it would be 5 to 6 weeks. I had it back in the middle of the 5th week.

i was told 2-3 weeks, got mine in 2 1/2 weeks .... no complaints here

Mine is at Leica Switzerland since five days and I incredibly miss it.

Following Pete's suggestion, I've ordered a V-Lux and I'm waiting for the new digitoy.

Is there a subtle problem or is it a major problem that I would know about ?

I think my D2 is operating O.K.

Albert, if you consider the D2's sensor a major component then you may have a subtle problem. ;-)

Nine weeks, and it came back with the black rubber on the body discolored.

8 weeks for the 25,000km Australia-Solms-Australia journey.

 

My D2 came back with a slight white powdery deposit on the rubber below the Red Dot.

 

I've seen this before with the solvent/residue of some glues. On the D2, this may have been applied to re-stick the rubber onto the body.

 

This often happens when the glue has not completely set and excess solvent has not had a real chance to vaporise away from the object being glued....(ie when the object is stuck into a plastic bag).

 

Fortunately the residue on my D2 cleaned up ok.

Hey.... I was extremely thankful to Leica that they extended this new warranty to beyond their Original D2 Product Warranty.

 

My D2 was very much "outside" of the written warranty........so this was enough of a gift to me.

 

Would you really feel that good holding your free battery and Leica had gone into Liquidation over the recent M8 and D2 issues?

 

Please don't pressure Leica into any more freebies......we all want the company to get through these two major delimas, at the least expense to them. Don't you want to buy a D4 or M9......in the future?

Gérald,

Start the neck-strengthening exercises now, you will find that you have to carry both all the time.

I sent mine to Milton Keyns and just missed their weekly shipping to Solms. I received the Digilux 2 back, 7 weeks later.

actually i bought the d2 second-hand in april 07 in a photo-shop after I selled mine 2 years ago (i then thought, a dslr would serve me better; it didn't and so i bought another d2 and sold the dslr ...).

 

The shop had 3 months garanty. After two days during a trip to zagreb the d2 showed first signs of malfunction. I brought it back to the shop and they sent it to nidau. they made the repair there, it took them two weeks. That's what i call a fine customer service!

[gverdon]

Indeed!

I cross my fingers.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[chrisbo]

My Digilux II went to New Jersey, USA about 7 weeks ago. I received word two weeks ago that it had a failed sensor and the repairs would be covered by warranty. I paid for the shipping and insurance to New Jersey. My camera was within the warranty period and had been very pampered and lightly used.

 

Leica's handling of the repairs is the only reason I am considering purchasing a Digilux III.
