This is bullshit. Leica, how about you build some cameras instead of going on a frigging roadshow? You know, factory? Manufacturing? Make some damn cameras?
You’re so right. Whats with new stuff? Aren’t there any rumors? I’m checking this site every day and every day there is nothing. It’s PMA time what’s up with Leica? I’m always dreaming of a V-lux 2. Make cameras Leica!!!
Yes, WTF? I mean it’s good that the admin keep us inform an all things Leica – I like to have everything in one place (I hate l-camera-forum), but Leica got to do something – half of their products are not available, one cannot even buy a battery for the M9… this will hurt them, big time. People who are wiling to spend, will not wait forever. I am seriosusly considerning Zeiss (for lenses) at that point.
Has someone ever seen a X1? Is Leica still manufacturing camera or only doing shows?
I was wrong. Leica still do camera! My dealer has just call that my long q
awaited X1 is arrived!
I don’t know anybody who has ordered an M9 (quite a few people) that have yet received delivery of their cameras… we are all beginning to think Leica is just teasing us and the M9 does not really exist at all. This is BULLSHIT Leica… stop putzing around with all the marketing BS and focus upon delivering PRODUCTS to customers.
CooLpixeler, I guess you are not located in the US, right? The X1 is not yet available in the US.
Paris, France.
I am just going back Home with it!
