Earlier this year we reported on problem’s with Leica’s M9 eating SanDisk SDHC memory cards, which caused not only the camera to crash, but the images to be lost and the disk rendered useless. Leica acknowledged the issue and has been working on a fix, and it seems that they’ve finally found one. An update on their website says:
The existence of this problem proved to be something of a thorn in Leica’s side, as people rightly expected flawless performance from such a high-cost device, and having it being essentially non-functional with a major brand of SD cards was something of a problem. Hopefully this update can be pushed out in the near future, and this problem will be put behind them. But, overall, it’s nice to see that they have aknowledged the problem and have been actively working on a fix.
