To be honest, I don't see any changes. Shooting RAW with lens detection + UV/IR correction, the writing times and preview times don't seem to have changed. Whatever those "optimised internal processes" are ...

That's nothing. You should see the live view!
Bit disappointing the video mode is only 720p though...

Same cyan shift as usual with CV 21/4, IR-cut filter on and lens detection off.
Loaded without a problem. I full-resolution review seems faster than before.
I'm sure the differences are subtle, but are there.

Face detection isn't working on mine.

Waiting a bit to make sure no horror stories emerge. Looking forward to loading it up!

Loaded mine with no problems but didn't see any difference either. Basically, they gave us just enough to encourage us to buy the new lens and that's it. Leica doesn't do much to engender the loyalty they seem to so desperately want.

I like to update things and I like the M8.
Today I got to enjoy both

Profiles and numbering didn't get reset even though they said the profiles would.

Now I can just feel like my M8 is better than it was yesterday. Even if I don't know why...I can pretend.

Leica may have figured out that the placebo effect is good medicine...

Too bad: I was hoping for better auto ISO and manual lens settings.

For many people this IS the horror story "Optimization of internal processes" alone

Can anyone else confirm this? As far as I am concerned while it would be nice to have more, if the improvements were limited to this it would still be worthwhile.
