Hey y’all, since I’m probably the first person that this has happened to, I just want to alert you to an experience that I just had. Last night, I was out shooting, and all of a sudden the camera failed to fire. I hadn’t changed anything or done anything different to cause the issue. I was being shown the left hand arrow like you see when you’re shooting in manual mode, but I was in aperture priority. Removing and reinstalling the battery didn’t solve the problem, and it’s worth noting that the battery was around 60%. All of the buttons were non responsive, including the ones used for a hard reset. When i got home, I changed the battery and that seemed to resolve the issue—it had to be a bad battery, right? Well, no. This morning I wake up and just double checked, and the problem reoccurred with every battery this time. Folks at my Leica store also couldn’t figure out a solution either. They provide great customer service, and happily took my return. I am now a proud owner of an M11-P. They had another D and offered me that one, but between this issue and the card formatting oversight, I just couldn’t feel comfortable with this system anymore. A really cool idea, but in all honesty I didn’t find the day-to-day difference to be all that significant.

Edit: I have also been shooting solely with internal memory because I didn’t want to cause an issue shooting with an unformatted card.
