He's spot on; when you're working "in country", you just don;t need complications and failure. The total environment is massively unforgiving. When Leica get this, and produces a Digital M that even half-way approaches the reliability of the film M's, I'll probably invest in one.

I agree with the framelines (they are a joke), the buffer (ridiculous), the depth of field (annoying)... I haven't had the other problems - except maybe for the filters (they do scratch easily when in dry, sandy and windy environment). The high ISO noise is a pita, but 160 or 320 underexposed by 2 stops does the trick imho... All the best from the south of France!
