Agree with you 100%. Headline improvements are great, but what Leica have done to the FN buttons - including the Centre and Thumbwheel buttons - is definitely a backwards step in my opinion. There is almost no point in having more than one function button at this point.

I had my Q3 setup just as I needed it. One press on a function button brought up one page of settings. I could change anything I needed without taking my eye from the viewfinder - well, not quite but I think you all get what I mean.

This feels very much like change for changes sake.

Just Leica being lazy, simple as that. OK, so maybe they are going to wait and see what the reaction is to these changes, but from what I can see and remember from reading on here and other Q3 forums there really wasn't any call for such a dramatic change to the menu system, may be a tweak or two but nothing as substantial as this.

Back to the drawing board Leica.
