leica  X1 of digital camera reviews

 In 2009 for the camera imaging chip is a development year, the APS-C from the Sigma DP1 to the frame of the following micro-4 / 3 system, GF1, chip development looks like we have been through the so-called embryonic period, is now leica X1 coming. In the hearts of Leica photographers have unusually strong position, for once-powerful German camera industry, the Leica is a very small number of those who truly are “legacy”, under the brand, is one of the few protected down survivors. Leica cameras of the optical imaging capabilities with high-quality products and brand value makes this brand has been off more wonderful words. Which brought the value of what we have seen breathtaking prices.
      Perhaps, with the “entry level” SLR to describe leica X1 would be more appropriate, this is equipped with Leica Leica leica X1 unique design and inherit its quality. leica X1 inherited the quality of Leica 35mm film era, providing a fixed-focus lens, but in the imaging, but it is to use analog and digital chips to achieve. leica X1 is equipped with the lens is a 24mm, non-spherical lens aperture of 2.8. 6 Section 8 is also equipped with a filter to prevent the dispersion of the film. leica X1 imaging size of 12 million pixel, APS-C frame (leica X1.5). Its LCD screen is 2.7 inches, 23-megapixel, no optical viewfinder.
    leica X1 is a simple and purely for the purpose of taking pictures hygiene products, which from its very simple body design can be seen. Shutter and aperture adjustments have been designed to dial on the top of the fuselage, just like Leica film cameras, the simple and clear, providing the most direct control of the shooting. Some people say that digital is not of the Leica Leica, but the design of leica X1 still “Loi” wind full. In addition to high prices, I believe that image quality will let you pocket.
   Comparison with the Leica M9
    First, let’s take a look at leica M9 comparison with the leica X1 bar. From the outside, leica X1 and the M9 is very similar, showing that Leica leica X1 continues the tradition next to the axis of the appearance and design.
  Black and bright silver two-tone design, and texture blend of retro style, passing control of the shutter and the aperture plate, M9, and the difference can be seen leica X1. Take a look at the difference between the back, whether it is key design and function key layout, leicaM9 and leica X1 are also very consistent.
Comparison with the Panasonic GF1
    Quite true mass of the Panasonic Leica series models are also brought us a comparison. I believe LX3 and Leica a given model is the relationship between the depth of our heart. GF1 and Panasonic EP1 are based on micro 4 / 3 system, a compact mini-size design to allow their body type can seem more refined than the leica X1. According to type of flash bombs have occurred in the micro 4 / 3 system machines. However, the GF1 example, in the height or slightly higher than the number of leica X1. Interchangeable lenses have become the GF1 the biggest difference with the leica X1.
  In contrast, leica X1 looks like with GF1 the quality of the show closer. However, the sensor size of leica X1 is now even better. However, this pocket king GF1 can be replaced lens, even Nazhi thin 20mm F1.7. Interestingly, leica X1′s LCD monitor is 4:3 to 3:2 size image View images, while the GF1 series of LCD is a 3:2 LCD screen to see a 4:3 imaging.
  Need to recognize is that, leica X1 is a very attractive and the design of the success of retro styling with modern imaging technology, small-scale integration of digital cameras. Leica M series models by virtue of the success, but also for leica X1 put on the scope of classical and traditional children.
   From the fuselage at the top of the shutter and aperture control panel, two-tone body design, the body on both sides of the lanyard holes, etc., complement each other very lifelike. The function keys back design is quite easy, you can direct the completion of these buttons control the most commonly used shooting needs.
    leica X1 has the advantage of very light weight, but offer large imaging chip. Combination of light and imaging, but also followed a film machine usage, that would be speedier.
Hand-held feelings
    Although the exterior point of view, leica X1′s body design is not as obvious as other cameras of engineering hand groove. However, leica X1 handshake but no less sense. You can use the index finger and thumb, single-hand to complete filming. However, in order to protect the unnecessary fall, wrist strap or lanyard is still necessary.
   leica X1 has a 2.7-inch, 23-megapixel display. The product with the now popular compared to the overall quality of the screen is a bit low. Although View Samples without hindrance, but the low-and pocket-sized screen size is difficult to allow users to experience the comfort of browsing effects. In addition, this screen ratio is 4:3, but the leica X1 sensor imaging chip is 3:2. This means that when you view photographs, but also can not fill the screen, and will use black bars to fill (or display information such as exposure parameters). Generally speaking, LCD’s not perfect is the only one disappointing place.

Some of the soft look solid enough. Many people questioned why not leica X1 of the aperture and focus ring design in the mirror, and not the buckle side is now close to the fuselage design. Compared because of the realization of electronic components difficult, and perhaps in the future will make a corresponding Leica accessories to improve this problem.
  leica X1 used in rechargeable lithium battery, model BP-DC8. Sigma DP2 capacity and the battery used in almost completely full electricity needs of 3 hours.
