Fix 300 images? Try more like 1,000 :) One helluva batch fix!

There's always more batteries, no big deal on that.

would say. The real question is, why should we have to go to such trouble
with this camera, when a lot of other pro level cameras do not have such
drastic color problems. I would feel for any wedding guy who has to fix 300
images. As someone else said, the camera would be a nightmare in that case.
Still, I love the camera and have not returned mine, but would like to see
it fixed.

sell the M10 to buy the M11! ;-) My guess is that it will cost be around
$500-$800 a year this way, not that big a deal. Life is too short to miss
out on the fun of working with a new Leica product, even one that has flaws!
