Leica X1 delayed till February 2010

By LR admin | Published: December 19, 2009

UPDATE: According to Leica US, the X1 camera will be on time for the scheduled January 2010 delivery. This rumor is busted for now.

Arlingtoncamera just confirmed the news to LR: their Leica rep has told them that the Leica X1 will be delayed until February, 2010.

I see two reasons for that delay: either Leica wants to concentrate on M9 production in order to satisfy the current demand (see this post) or the latest X1 review at dpreview was not up to par with Leica’s expectations and they are working on few final tweaks.

I never had the chance to update my DL4 since the latest firmware update was removed shortly after it was announced. The rumor is that there could be more than the originally described French language issue with that firmware update (the information below is based on Internet forums and it is not confirmed):

Firmware version 2.10 was removed from Leica’s website on Monday, December 14th.

Three pictures of a white Leica M8.2 showed up on flickr again: pic1 | pic2 | pic3 (see previous similar post).

The original white limited edition was a Leica M8, not a M8.2 (Leica M8 White edition on Leica US website).
