I fully support these suggestions and hope they will come with a future firmware update!

You can add me to the list too. I have had my M8 since mid summer. ISO and EV for sure. WB sucks anyway but a button push or wheel and button would be welcome. There are a couple of other changes I would like to see also, card format should be a two button push or wheel and button. John

Yes - But only as a selectable/deselectable option and not a permanent change.

I support the proposed concepts.

 

Most important would be EV compensation for faster changes.

Next in importance would be ISO quick change.

Least important is WB.

 

M8 owner since Dec 2006

Second M8 since October 2007.

Both supported by eight lenses.

99% of my Pro work uses this gear.

Speed is frequently vital in my work, so these changes, or similar would be great.

I'm using the M8 with 3 lenses since 6 months.

 

I don't need a "protect" button, "delete" could be a menu function for my purposes.

 

Yes, I would like to have an easier change of ISO and EV, WB is not important.

 

And, I would like to see the f-stop value in my exif data.

Yes. Current owner

Agree wholeheadedly as to the suggested means for quick and straightforward access to changing ISO and EV. I daresay WB quick change is not as important as the first two. The menu method is a nuisance. M8 owner since January 2007. Not incidentally, I've never used the "protect" feature on any digital camera. Thank you, Sean, for all your good work on our behalf.

Yes, I would like to see these advances made to the M8 controls and hoped for it as soon as I had read Sean's article on his website in which he proposed these changes. I have owned an M8 since January and have the following four lenses: 28 summicron asph, 35 summilux asph, 35 summicron asph, 50 summicron.

These changes are a no brainer. They put buttons and a wheel on the back of the camera. Leica, what are you waiting for?

 

Agreed on all points. Owner since Sept 2007.

[fordfanjpn]

I am a current M8 owner, and while I am less concerned with WB setting, I completely agree with and support all of your proposed enhancements.

Yes please. A current owner since April 2007

 

cheers

[barjohn]

Yes, please, current M8 owner since january 2007.

[BillBrittain]

I agree to these changes. They would make the camera much more usable.

 

I own 2 M8s. One since 01/07 and one since 04/07.

[Philinflash]

M8 owner since 3/07.

 

All three suggestions would be improvements.

 

... but WB can be important to JPEG shooters, especially those wiring pictures in to papers and magazines ...

 

If the FW were a little smarter, it could recognize that if DNG-only is selected WB would not have the same priority.

I agree with Sean's ideas. Most important to me is ISO and I would like the option of putting it on the protect button.
