My X2D never freezes while my m11 still does.  Image wise they are close especially if you just glance, I often have to look twice to see which camera I shot with.  M11 is super portable and go everywhere camera with outstanding IQ.  But if you are going to light something the x2d is the best for that on the planet.

I own both the X2D and M11. I have not had "freeze" issues with either. Both have been solid performers.

Last week end I had a chance to try the camera with a Leica Summilux attached. Unfortunately the problem with the rolling shutter is pretty severe, almost all of the test picture I took showed the problem. 

I'll have to wait for the next version, hoping that the problem will be fixed or at least reduced to a point that I can shoot with manual lenses and the electronic shutter.

 

Thanks everybody for sharing their thoughts

Did you use 14 bits mode? Electronic shutter is much faster than in 16 bit mode, though fast moving subjects will still exhibit rolling shutter issues.
Unless stacked sensors are used, you cannot expect faster readouts.

Good point, I should have tried, I knew that with 14 bit the sensor reads faster, but the camera has been sold in the meantime.
