This counts also for the M10 and especially the M10D, which would suit a smooth connection to a smartphone for that price. Oh no, I do not want to defend the Foto app. I find it ... ahem ... not so good. It is a pity that it is not at the level of Panasonic's or Nikon's apps. My point is that since there is no cooperation, Leica cannot just ask Panasonic to help them. That is something that Leica has to sort it out themselves. Hopefully sooner than later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if Leica spent any resources catering to those markets. Even Sony can't break-in. I am surprised that you included "paparazzi" with sports and wildlife. I would imagine that paparazzi want cameras that are cheap and easy to replace, preferably APS-C for those telephoto shots of stars holidaying. I can't think of any Leica qualities that fit the paparazzi business model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted December 18, 2019 Share #23  Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Leica has with the SL2 taken a direction which is more than ever heading to AUTO everything and farther away than ever from the philosophy of the photographer being in control with a few simple parameters manually guided. If you want to do that, it’s a bit ridiculous that you can’t deliver basic things like wifi and GPS in a userfriendly way.

jmm1 Posted January 26, 2020 Share #24  Posted January 26, 2020 I have the latest version of fotos, a freshly formatted and only a single SD card in the SL2 but it still won't connect.  The app works fine my CL. The app even says it has found the camera but then I fails. I can't believe they can't fix this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcolinger Posted January 26, 2020 Share #25 Â Posted January 26, 2020 Strange, it works perfectly for myself and, I think, for most users. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted January 26, 2020 Share #26  Posted January 26, 2020 Leica Fotos is almost unusable for me. Poor / slow connection. Unreliable operation. Heavy power drain. I hate to think what version 1 was like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I you want to be a software company, maybe you should develop some competencies in the area of, you know, software? I was a software product manager for many years, and I am unimpressed by their skills in this area, starting with promotion, packaging, and pricing. They could use some professional advice from people who understand this area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted February 2, 2020 Share #30  Posted February 2, 2020 I don’t really understand the “we can’t work closely for antitrust reasons” line of argument. It’s not as if the combination of the L=mount partners accounts for a significant enough chunk of the market to be able to set prices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transferring the large files wireless is just slow...you need patience. Did you try deleting the connection and starting over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Peter Hi, Peter, did you resolve this problem? Have the same issue with my Leica D-Lux 7.  per Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
