I hate firmware that resets all settings with every update. Leica does not, 
as far as I remember (it has been ages since there was an upgrade for the 
M8) and neither does Pentax, but Fuji does. It means that after every X100 
firmware upgrade I have had to spend 10-15 minutes setting the camera back 
to my default settings. Not a huge deal but still annoying. The last time 
the file numbering got reset as well, so it is now reusing numbers that had 
already been used. I do not care about this, since I always add the date to 
the filename when importing into LR, so each file has a unique name anyway.

Cheers,
Nathan
