michaelbrenner Posted May 15, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 15, 2014 Review published today by New York tech reviewer David Pogue; compares the Leica T and the Sony A6000. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/tiny-new-cameras-with-big-sensors-the-leica-t-vs-85764760379.html Thank you for posting the review... To those who read the review - make sure to check out the pics (from both cameras) on the author's Flickr site. Great pics from both cameras but I have to say, IMHO, the pics from the Leica T provoked more than one "wow" moment while I found those from the Sony, although very well executed, a bit ordinary-looking, at least to my eyes, for this particular set. Also, from what the author states, the Leica T had a few problems with the autofocus, which will hopefully be cleared up before release. Have any of the other testers run into this problem? I'm bummed the author didn't just zone focus, because the shots looked interesting - especially the kite surfers. I would have liked to see the detail the Leica could have pulled from that pic.

A B Posted July 24, 2014 Share #7 Posted July 24, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) There is an update on dpreview (http://www.dpreview.com/previews/leica-t-typ701/8).

Guest badbob Posted July 31, 2014 Share #8 Posted July 31, 2014 Hi all, I've had a T for a couple of weeks on a loan basis from Leica and took it on a recent trip. Here's my review and findings...satureyes photography | Gear : Leica T (TYP 701) It's a good informative review, but I don't agree it's expensive. You need to compare with the least expensive interchangeable-lens Leica camera which costs several times as much (or twice as much at least), not with the cameras from Nikon/Sony/Fuji etc., because Leica doesn't compete with those. There's an illusion that they compete on some basis, such as features, but the hand-made aspect of Leica's builds rules that out as competition where price is a consideration.

Guest badbob Posted July 31, 2014 Share #9 Posted July 31, 2014 Here is another review from the Verge Not very positive. I disagree with him on IQ. This review proposes (as do many others ad nauseam) that only the wealthy can afford or justify the expense of a Leica camera. That kind of argument borders on Marxist thinking I believe. They make a very plausible argument that "anything you can get with a Leica T you can get from someone else for much cheaper" - quote approximate. The problem is, it's plausible (ignoring aesthetics), but not provable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest badbob Posted August 5, 2014 Share #12 Posted August 5, 2014 Another review from LaVida Leica Hands-on with the Leica T (Type 701) | La Vida Leica! This review seems very out-of-date. The T and the 18-56 can be had for $3600, while I see scary prices up to $6200 in this review. The performance issues and glitches they describe I don't experience, except of course the "slow" performance, which BTW isn't as slow as my Monochrom camera. I seem to remember that the LaVida Leica guy was also a mod at DPReview at one time (if not now), and DPReview has been generally negative on the T.

A B Posted August 6, 2014 Share #13 Posted August 6, 2014 Yes I agree. I didn't find the T as unusable as some reviews seem to suggest. Most of the subjects I take pictures of are static anyway, so the "slowness" probably affect me less then other people. I did find sometimes the LCD becomes not responsive to touch and I have to turn off and on again the camera to fix it, but that happened to me on rare occasions and I think is one of the issues that can be fixed in firmware. It seems to me that DPreview is generally negative on the Leicas. :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The negative "reviews" and a kind of patrolling by negative members has scared off most participation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IkarusJohn Posted October 12, 2014 Share #18 Posted October 12, 2014 Nice review, but I find the variety in colour balance and PP in most of the images disconcerting - too much red, and inconsistent desaturation. I don't think these are JPegs out of the camera, so it is a case of inconsistent post processing. The later images, where there is real colour against neutral backgrounds are far stronger, and give a nice idea of what the camera is capable of.
