The X1 is looking mighty tasty, and i'm considering upgrading my near-3-year-old D-Lux3 to a more 'pro' camera.

Thought ?

Firstly the new Mercedes-Benz SLS and now this… rich people are going to have a great day.

But I still like the Digilux 3 more.

As someone who actually has a couple Leica lenses, I'm mildly interested. But I'd have to fall backwards into a big pile of cash to actually consider buying one. Or suddenly have a ton of extra work that can justify its expense.

Leicas are great of course, but not for the prices they usually charge for them.

Here's hoping the prices won't be stratospheric.

Absolutely gorgeous. The design is exactly what a camera should look like imo. Classy yet timeless.

I noticed there isnt any 'zoom' on this camera. can someone explain to me what that means and how it would work ? does it mean that by changing the focal length it changes the field-of-view ? or is this lierally a fixed lens camera (ie the lens doesnt move at all) ?

I know i want one.... depending on the price, ill have to figure out how long ill have to save up for it

More pictures and hands on here...

The screen on that thing is pretty cluttered for a Leica.
