mhoutman Posted August 9, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 9, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) My lenses are in Solms as they need the coded parts but I hesitate to be among the first to buy this camera. My experience with all electronics tells me to wait at least another 3- months till bugs etc have been solved. Anybody else agree with that ? Nevertheless I am so greedy ;-) Michiel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 9, 2006 Posted August 9, 2006 Hi mhoutman, Take a look here Buying the new M8. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted August 9, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 9, 2006 Beta testers and guinea pigs are working with the camera now, and probably have been for 6 months. many bugs will have been squashed. However, if the M8 is actually available to deliver to customers in September, they will be actually manufacturing them even now. So, any further issues that arise will be too late. Chances are that, should you walk into a dealer tomorrow and order one, you wouldn't get it until the New Year anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
like_no_other Posted August 9, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 9, 2006 It's most important that this camera is perfect right from the start. I'm absolutely convinced that Leica has done this job to your complete satisfaction. Nevertheless if there should be any problems with your M8 just send it back.

marknorton Posted August 9, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 9, 2006 I'd be happy to take the first one off the line... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flatfour Posted August 9, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 9, 2006 I'd be happy to take a knocked about beta at a knockdown price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grober Posted August 9, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 9, 2006 Michiel, Something to be said for your caution, of course, but I don't care. I've slimmed down my Leica kit and have the necessary cash in the bank drawing interest. I call my dealer every two weeks to hear him promise again that I'll get the very first M8 that reaches his store. Whether I suffer because of this exuberance or not - only time will tell. (I'm sure this forum will hear about it, at a minimum.) -g Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
