RCW Posted January 9, 2010 Share #61 Posted January 9, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Would you mind showing us a picture of your X1, seems odd that Leica sells products in NZ months before they are officially released ROW. Here's a picture of myself holding X1. Taken using bathroom mirror and flipping the result horizontally. Welcome, dear visitor!

Ecaton Posted January 10, 2010 Share #65 Posted January 10, 2010 Haha, you called him out and he delivered... I was maybe to straight forward, but he reacted gentlemanlike:) Seems there are a couple of things Leica needs improving in connection with product launches .

khanosu Posted January 10, 2010 Share #69 Posted January 10, 2010 According to Sean's review, there is a shutter delay of 1.27 sec. if the camera is set to preview previous image on the LCD. What we are witnessing here must be that 1.27 sec. shutter delay. Apparently @RCW is looking at the screen to see the image that has just been taken. When the camera is not set to preview previous images then the shutter delay is 0.5 sec. The lens is extended since there is a bright rim light reflection on the edge of the font element which would probably not be as prominent if the front element were recessed. Take care!

RCW Posted January 10, 2010 Share #70 Posted January 10, 2010 Khanosu is right on both counts: the camera was set on auto preview and the lens is extended. Bear in mind that I'm still using firmware 0.73b. Apparently the shutter lag is less with version 1.0. The lag time is similar to the D-Lux 4 which I traded in on the X1. The lens has to be extended when the camera is operating, as it is in the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted January 11, 2010 Share #71 Posted January 11, 2010 Khanosu is right on both counts: the camera was set on auto preview and the lens is extended.

The lens has to be extended when the camera is operating, as it is in the picture. I am surprised that Leica released for sale an X1 with firmware status less than 1.00. I just wonder if your camera was an early release to your dealer for demonstration purposes and was not intended for immediate sale before the firmware was updated? I am sure you will see some improvements when final release firmware is available. Meanwhile, ENJOY! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 11, 2010 Share #72 Posted January 11, 2010 Heard indirectly that the UK is now looking at first week Feb. Seemingly there's quite a few changes to the camera from the one reviewed on Luminous Landscape. Quicker autofocus being one of the rumoured changes!

MPJMP Posted January 11, 2010 Share #73 Posted January 11, 2010 The lag time is similar to the D-Lux 4 which I traded in on the X1 RCW, How are you liking the X1 compared with the D-Lux 4? Are you finding that it worth the upgrade to you? -Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappde Posted January 12, 2010 Share #79 Posted January 12, 2010 OK. After all this talk I called LEICA USA today. They are in Allendale, NJ and spoke with a Mr. Mark Brady. On LEICA's webpage his name is listed to ask questions regarding your pre sales issuse. He was vey nice. According to him: he spoke with "upper management a few days ago, and the January release was still on and gave no reasons (firmware upgrade, etc.) for the delay. As he phrased it there are still more than two weeks left from the month and can be "on time". After pressing him a little more he admitted that he would be not surprised if the actual release would be in February. So there you have it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted January 13, 2010 Share #80 Posted January 13, 2010 See, I don't normally post here as this is the sort if thread that happens and I don't really want to get embroiled! How can anyone be totally sure till the camera ships? I can't anyhow! My source is the Leica rep in the UK, so pretty solid! But I don't want you all salivating only to be let down, so maybe best to wait and see when I pick mine up first week of Feb :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
