I reckon there isn't too many of those though.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
If you ever use a Leica, you will understand why its design has reached the optimum point and accepted by professional for the last 50 years. There must be a really good reason for it.

Sometimes buying a camera is an emotional judgment than purely rational one. If you're serious, your camera will be tool you're working with all the time, a companion. Some people, therefore, are pretty picky with certain things on their camera other than value/$. Especially if you make money with your photography, probably makes it easier to justify expensive equipment... ]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
Good job still keeping it real Leica.]]>Dec 18th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
Sure it isn't the deciding feature, but all things being equal, I'll pick the one with a video feature built in. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 8:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 18th 2009 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
I'm a photographer as well, and though I don't shoot video it's good to know that feature is there if I need it. Choosing to omit it, when all of their competitors include it is sheer stupidity. Having the option for video doesn't increase the price and doesn't negatively effect photo quality, so why NOT include it?]]>Dec 18th 2009 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 18th 2009 8:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
It's like the Panny LX3 vx Dlux4. People swear the Leica is better even though they are suppose to have the same sensor, lens and firmware.
Some reviewers have said the Panny's lense isn't multicoated and the firmware is different, some disagree altogether with that.]]>Dec 18th 2009 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 18th 2009 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/

This camera is as ridiculous as Canon charging $1200 for the G11. ]]>Dec 18th 2009 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 18th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
When I was in photo class Leicas were quite popular. They're not for casual shooters or professional shooters who a particular purpose like sports or wildlife, but are fine street shooters.... ]]>Dec 18th 2009 11:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 19th 2009 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
But there is no excuse for the styling of this current abomination. Just because Oskar Barnack found this shape functional for his first prototypes is no reason to enshrine it as some mythical ideal.

This looks like it was beaten senseless with the Ugly stick.]]>Dec 18th 2009 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/i dont know if you can even call it ugly, its too basic to be offensive ]]>Dec 19th 2009 2:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/Dec 18th 2009 5:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/leica-x1-review-digs-deep-cant-find-value/
