But, FWIW, it will not display files larger than 17mb in any format (Leica DMR files are 19mb ea.) and it does not recognize the .dng file format. I keep hoping for an update to cover these two 'flaws' in what I consider to be an otherwise perfect machine. (Still, it does save and regurgitate the .dng files just fine! Just no display of them!) Also, I took mine to Costa Rica for 3.5 weeks, and had to recharge it from the mains, several times. (I had only one battery!)
