sean_reid Posted October 16, 2006 Share #21 Posted October 16, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I had some own impressions of the M8 in Berlin and some talks with a Leica representive and fully agree to David and especially to Sean’s review. Two additional remarks and/or questions. (1) Due to the informations I got neither Adobe nor Apple will support the M8 for use with their fine and revolutionary new software LIGHTROOM and APERTURE. This does mean that all those who shift to one of those fine software products to get rid of jumping between many different software at least for the most cases stay in the dust... Being forced to use a software you didn’t use so far (Capture) just for the images you take with the M8 is in my opinion a serious issue, especially for those using different cameras and don’t like to bother wirth different workflows. DOES ANYBODY know more about this issue? (2) As an addendum to Sean’s well-thought critics concerning ergonomics I found another issue. While the camera is writing the data to the SD-card and showing the preview on the monitor YOU CANNOT interrupt ths showing but have to wait a while. This is important if you just want to press SET to immediately change the ISO after a shot. Sean, did you also make this experience? Best Holger Hi Holger, Thanks for your comments on the review. 1) I'm afraid that this is one more aspect I can't discuss in detail yet but don't count out Adobe with respect to it's commitment to high quality support of the M8 over time. I have no knowledge of Apple's plans in this respect. 2) I don't recall that problem and it may have been specific to the pre-production firmware in the camera you tried. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrgeoffrion Posted October 16, 2006 Share #22 Posted October 16, 2006 ...but don't count out Adobe with respect to it's commitment to high quality support of the M8 over time. That's pretty sad since Leica is one of the only manufacturer that supports Adobe's DNG format for digital camera. But it doesn't really matter since CaptureOne does such a better job. Enough that the DMR is a different camera with CaptureOne than with Adobe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought you said "but don't count on...". In this case, it's not sad, it's good news (if read between the lines correctly). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, it's not sad, it's good news (if read between the lines correctly). That explains it. You had me quite puzzled. Cheers, Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal_meheut Posted October 16, 2006 Share #26 Posted October 16, 2006 However, if Leica doesn't quite succeed in getting their color shit together, it won't be the first time for a camera manufacturer. It would, however, be nice. Sure. ACR giving the worst colors I've saw out of many raw converters (I tried them all or color ) for the DMR is Leica's fault Nothing to do with Adobe delivering a faulty calibration and not spending time fixing it because it is too small a market...
