I Love My LEICA X1

There has been so much negativity surrounding this camera on this Forum from the day it was announced. And I, for one, have had enough. Isn't it time we showed this beautiful little camera some love? (Plus, there's a "I love my...." thread for basically every other Leica, so why not? ;))

 

So, I will start by proclaiming for all to hear:

 

I LOVE MY LEICA X1

 

I know its not perfect and comes with its flaws, but I love it regardless! I love its size, I love its looks, I love its retro designs, but more importantly, I love its photos (and that's what counts!)

 

So, here I am, inviting one and all to come join me in the celebration of this lovely camera. Please, post comments, photos of or by the Leica X1; and let's relish in all the things it can do, and not concern ourselves with the things it cannot.

I love mine as well, but understand those who don't.

I am wondering aloud how many of those with negativism are real end users of X1? It infuriates me whenever one starts with a technical specifications dissertation minutia, and then on compare to M8's virtues, which is a completely different breed of animal..both of them nevertheless are purebreds of their own. I desire to hear from fellow worldwide X1 users in real life shooting situations and experiences, not fables....There are a lot of misconception about X1, one being of such radical design but with a very serious Sony APS-C CMOS sensor that pushes this little sweet babe to the leading edge of the pack to the consternation of many traditionalists and elitists. To those dissatisfied X1 owners...eBay your camera..you can fetch very high dollar value.

I still think people end up falling in love with the flaws, be it an object or a person. I love my M8, flaws and all ;)

 

Well said.

 

I love my X1, too. I haven't noticed many negative threads written about the X1 by actual owners.

I love mine too.

Since I received the camera and see how it performs for me, I don't mind the naysayers anymore. They are like crows.

You can see that since the X1 is available in larger numbers, they actually grew significantly quieter. These kind of people only make noise when there is no hard evidence against their crowing.

what camera took this photo? was it a x1?

NO..My Leica X1 is being taken by a nonLeica camera....It was taken by a Sony CyberShot 12.1mp DSC-W200 VarioTessar f2.8. This was taken @ 3mp w/forced flash. We had severe flooding this past week in northern NJ, since then my cable DSL became excruciating lethargic, may be the underground cables got flooded?.. and ever since then it takes forever for me to upload pix's. So I paired down to a 3mp pix.
