I use Trandscend 16 & 32GB class 10 cards with no issues but everyone had their own opinions. I had a brand new Sansdisk Ultra 16GB card lock up after less than 50 exposures. Almost all variations of SanDisk had issues for me both on M9 and Mono, from Ultra to Extreme. I haven't tried wifi cards.
Oh, yes if you are nitpicking, the black chrome finish on the Monochrom doesn't appear to wear as well as my film black chrome Leicas or my previous M8. Even with very gentle usage, I can already see some wear on my Mono.
Wayne, one almost have to own the Monochrom to appreciate the B&W files. There is so much midtone and shadow detail, its really quite remarkable. For instance I can crank up the clarity and contrast sliders in LR4 to +99 and the files are still workable and doesn't fall apart. But really, in my opinion, you can't really see most of these details on smaller or medium size prints or monitors unless you look really closely. The details are probably more useful for a photographer to be able to envision and tweak the files to achieve the B&W look he or she wants, rather than for the average observer to see the differences. Hopefully one day soon, Sigma, Sony or the other big manufacturers release a B&W camera for the masses, I think this should not be something exclusive to Leica.

Yes, maybe Sony can put out a RX1M! How do you think the tonality of the MM files compares to D800E converted to B&W, or B&W film? What is the DR of the MM?
