Such a shame Leica can't get their sealing right. The thing hasn't event hit shelves yet and it is already leaking.

Long time lurker, making his first post. (Sorry in advance)

So, a Waterproof Leica has leaked before it was released? You would have thought they would have taken better care to test its waterproof capabilities.

Sounds like its dead in the water, if the Leica is a Leaker.
