Operationally, this is a fantastic camera, as other reviewers say in more detail. Two things keep me from giving it 5 stars. First, the terrible battery life, which makes this my backup, not my go-to camera. $7K is a lot to pay for a backup camera. My trusty M262 will go all day with battery time to spare. Even using all the power-save features (e.g., no live view), this battery just lasts a couple of hours, about the same as the $5 aftermarket batteries that work great with my Sony A7. If you're going for light weight and short battery life, then make the camera compatible with one of the inexpensive Asian battery sizes...like the Panasonic batteries Leica uses in its consumer cameras. A $175 battery that only lasts a couple of hours feels like a scam.
The second issue is the super slow performance with the EVF. When I bought the EVF I expected to use it in that mode most of the time. But the EVF lag time is so long that it makes the camera useless for fast-reaction time shots, such as street or event photography. Plus the EVF sucks battery life even faster. Again, might as well just use the 262.
Every time Apple releases a new product, it's better IN EVERY WAY than the predecessor. No compromises. Disappointing that an expensive brand like Leica doesn't follow suit.
