   Apple’s packaging designer has been doing a bit of moonlighting!

   You’re right, it doesn’t have any of the things you mentioned. Privilege is for a Leica at a SFF and with a excellent sensor and lens. While there are many cameras with exactly what you wanted in specification, many of which does not even come close to the quality of IQ the X1 can deliver.
   Comment to Steve Huff, you are doing a great job with your website and in a short time, you’ve really come a long way. Also thanks to LR admin for providing this link!

   Mr Kauffman is my bad dream as the child paedo……….from chitty chitty bang bang! Really he’s a very nice man! It’s just a personal fear of his ugly face.

   Package is appropriate for an item of luxury jewelery… Having used an X1 already I can only concur with dpreview regarding its significant “cons”… A $400 camera with a $1000 lens attached shipping in a $600 box. Oh yeah what a deal…

   to the above comment. I agree. which is why a good japanese company may be the better owner of the Leica brand.

    I once got a box with a drawer for two pieces of curry buns in Tokyo (Fiorentina Pastry Boutique at Grand Hyatt Tokyo). I guess the Germans have finally caught in their packaging design.
