ezc203 Posted March 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eduardoho Posted March 23, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited March 23, 2010 by eduardoho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiOnara Posted March 23, 2010 Share #7 Posted March 23, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I know its not perfect and comes with its flaws, I still think people end up falling in love with the flaws, be it an object or a person.

I love my X1, too. I haven't noticed many negative threads written about the X1 by actual owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted March 23, 2010 Share #9 Posted March 23, 2010 I don't love my M8 which is currently with Leica NJ for another month for shutter repair. Nor do I like its very inaccurate frame lines. Grrr. I will love it when it comes back and works perfect though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezc203 Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share #10 Posted March 23, 2010 As much as I adorable my M8, this is an X1 thread. So let's get back on track, with some eye candy Now, show me YOURS!! ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

damnsharp Posted March 24, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 24, 2010 I love my Leica X1, no question about it Now I bought the Metz flash it's even better. (one downside about a case, I want an ever-ready case where I can leave my viewfinder on the camera!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prk60091 Posted March 24, 2010 Share #17 Posted March 24, 2010 YES SIR...heeeere is mine....matted to a Metz 28CS2 strobe light. what camera took this photo? was it a x1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eduardoho Posted March 25, 2010 Share #18 Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) 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. Edited March 25, 2010 by eduardoho Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
