thansk admin, nothing interesting but small enough to put in your pocket
so its a rebranded panasonic at twice the price ?
Screw that I want to see the new d-lux
I don’t understand. What is the point here? Is the sensor different? Why does this camera exist if it is the same as the panasonic?
Man it’s a real shame that Leica does this kinda things, same thing but much higher price just for a stupid logo.
When did Leica decide to not make attractive cameras anymore…? Is it just me or does anyone else think that this thing is just a HIDEOUS black panasonic??
I definetely agree with aradilon.. shame to leica! they should have atleast put a better lens to justify the price..
are you guys kidding?
leica has ALWAYS (!!!) done this with its digital compacts.
so nothing surprising new about it.
Hey Admin, you gotta be the hardest working guy on the web in ferreting this stuff out LOL.
I’m still loving my DL 4, but I long for a lower priced (like $3k to $4k maybe) rangefinder. Even with a fixed lens. With a fixed lens, it would be doable. My old Zeiss is still kicking after many years and I still run film through it because I miss the simplicity of the RF.
@Libby – I am trying
Why did you put leicarumors watermark?
You clearly stated that it was downloaded from the Internet.
Unless you took the pictures yourself, this is Copyright Infringement.
There’s a new company if you haven’t heard about it.
Leicasonic.
Same specs as Panasonic cameras, color it black, put a shiny red dot and sell it for an exorbitant amount.
Surely Leica die hards would fall for it and clamor it’s magnificence.
Claiming there’s a “leica touch” to the pictures.
This is simply capitalism working here.
Leica has stopped trying. In the past they at least made the camera body look a little different. On the plus side, being made by Panasonic it will have a good quality LCD and controls that don’t spin freely. Yes, that is a jab at the X1.
人民币价格是多少呢？
leica and panasonic cameras vary greatly in the image processing and in the lens. Panasonic lenses become “leica”, the same way that food becomes kosher. Leica P&S cameras have superior glass and coatings.
