satijntje Posted April 1, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2011 Yes, this little gadget is now good enough for me to buy it as well. I had a X1 before, but sold it again, but with the new Firmware, I bought a new one yesterday again, and I can tell you that I will now be selling my M8.2 with some lenses. Picture quality is superb, and nearly comparable with the M8. so, go for it is my message as well! John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Never noticed images were flat, but they are very good. I had a DL4, the X1 gives much better images. Everything I view at 100% is sharp as a tack. Did I was yes?

One day I am sure you will miss them and selling cameras/lenses is like buying & selling cars- one always loses out. Your lens replacement costs will be horrific. M8 allows you to do so much more and gives greater control and detail. X1 is very good and more portable but still not an M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then later you can buy an M9 or newer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt take much effort and only what I would expect from a Leica dealer. Have fun with your new camera and enjoy your trip. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
