Anyone found any reviews from the folks that had early access to pre-released units?
I've only seen the dpreview one here:

I'm slowly going through Sean Reid's (subscriber only) review. It's long and he's holding back on judgment so far.

.Just been to the official launch. Had 4 hours with the camera and a few lenses. Very very impressed. It’s very light. Simple to focus using the EVF and that’s by someone who’s never used an M apart from a handful of shots. So impressed I bought one and got it charging now
Here is a non-professional who had a chance to play with the new camera. There are supposed to be lots of sample images, but I can't get them to load. Maybe you will have better luck.

It's a Leica M camera without the traditional rangefinder. Check out my example images from my hands on with it.

Someone doesn’t understand the difference between an optical or electronic viewfinder. You would be well served to ignore the opinions of those people.
He seems pretty on top of things. Focus peaking doesn't cut it and magnify mode is too slow.

Focus peaking and magnified view is what you get. It’s more accurate than using a rangefinder with fast lenses and shallow dof. It’s the nature of the beast. You don’t compare it to a Nikon Z9 AF.

Agree with this 100% - many people only use peaking, or only use magnification, and fail to get the best from the AF assist. Mag + Peak = most accurate focus. Far more accurate than a RF could ever be.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it arguing about camera features - go out and capture memories - Oh, and size does matter - shoot MF

Chris and Peta Pixel seem a bit on the smug side with their reviews lately very product promotional centric. Kai seems a lot more honest

Yuck, never liked that in a Fuji. I shoot my Qs mostly in MF mode and expect it to be a similar experience to the M-EV1.

Yes. I only wish we could turn focus peaking and magnification on and off at the same time.
