Title: Leica D-lux 4 Firmware update
Post by: GPatch on October 07, 2009, 01:25:51 am
Does anyone know when Leica will release the firmware update 2.0 for the D Lux 4.  I understand the update for the Panasonic is already out.
It tee's me off that I paid several hundred dollars more and get the update last.

I started taking HDR photos and the +- 1 AEB  is not very good.  The D Lux 4 takes great pictures and I love the camera, but will have to sell it if I don't get the update soon.  I have a 5D MK ll and 80% of my HDR photos are good (not great, but good).  Almost all of my Leica HDR are deleted.  I've ordered a Canon S90 and on the waiting list.
Thanks

It´s on its way....  Problem is, Panasonic had to retract their update due to some bug, and will be back on Oct 20.  If they survive, Leica will follow....

I'll re-post this since the crash.  

Thanks for the heads-up on the new firmware.  I've bookmarked the download site & will check back later in the month.  Only the flashing highlights in review and the 3 stop bracket will be of value to me, though.  

I've really enjoyed this as a walk-around camera.  It's small enough to always  have  with me and takes great pictures.  The new 4/3's like the GF1 look interesting, but by the time you put a lens on them they're still much bigger than the LX3.
