I get much better aesthetics and color balance without even trying from my D Lux 4. I must say I’m not impressed at all.

Just poorly shot snaps in incandenscent lighting. But I agree, 2,000USD for a fixed non zoom lens camera is just ridiculous. If they had launched a digital CL with M-mount at that price, well, that would interest me to use my Leitz glass. M9 is too much and, for that price, not sure IQ/sensor is state of art (and it should be, sorry folks). These can’t be used for IQ or camera evaluation.

As it is for the D-Lux4, better lens coating, different firmware than the Panasonic-is this really worth the much higher price? i could NOT REALLY see a difference imagewise between the DLux 4 and the Panasonic one. @Matt

Is there any comparable camera outhere? I mean a real comparable camera in the class of aps-c compacts except of the Sigma DP? Not really. In one year things will change and competitors like Ricoh will come up with their solutions for expected $ 1000, a not so so good lens and the usual build quality you can get from a china made camera... ;-) @Markus

I've owened and worked with Canons, Hasselblads, Nikons and Linhofs. So looking at these images straight out of the X1, i have to admit that Leica and Rolex in Picture 3 go very well together:) 2000 dollars for f2.8 with a fixed lens ... this is ridiculous. i was raised with my father’s Leicas and was always a great admirer of what you get with Leica’s fine optics.

It just looks like any camera, no Leica look in there. Certainly not worth the $1000000 premium. Disappointing look to this images. It just looks like any camera, no Leica look in there.

Looks good to me. Softness is due to the shutter speed of 1/30 and the aperture was at f/2.8 so not a problem. I wonder why everyone's smiling? :) Image 1 was shot at ISO 1600. Looks good to me.
