There was an electronic fault which caused severe battery drain; also the ECB screen was separating. I've adopted the policy to wait one year before purchasing newly-released photo equipment...including Leica. By then, assuming one buys it from a dealer with good turnover, you are probably likely to get one minus a few bugs.
