satijntje Posted June 4, 2011 Share #1  Posted June 4, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi,  as a happy X1 owner, I'm just curious to see what cameras X1 owners have used before staying at the X1.  Here is my list:  Canon EOS 450D Canon EOX 5D MII Canon 1D MIII (still in use) Canon Powershot SX30 IS (bridge) Leica M8 Leica M8.2 White edition Leica M9 Leica V-Lux 20 Leica X1 (my favourite)   So, they were all sold except the X1 and the 1D MIII  Greetz  John from Germany Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Hi satijntje, Take a look here What cameras did you own last 5 years before X1?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Solar B Posted June 4, 2011 Share #2  Posted June 4, 2011 Well not sure i can remember all over the last five years ... have owned many more  telescopes over this timescale though ... but find iam now reverting back to photography.  Digilux 1 , 2 & 3  C-lux 3  D-lux 3 & 4  450D ..... all now sold  Currently use Vlux-1 and on my 2nd D-lux 4  But just like you i have now settled on an X1  Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeTexas Posted June 4, 2011 Share #3 Â Posted June 4, 2011 Canon AE-1 (I'm pretty sure my parents have it somewhere) Canon AE-1 Program (Still have it - have rarely used it since about 2002) FujiFilm FinePix 4700z (2001 - sold it a year later because the 2.4mp was barely enough for newspaper work, which was printing at 85dpi, not enough for magazine work.) FujiFilm FinePix f601z (2002 - Really liked it. Used it several years, but it met an untimely end bouncing off a brick patio. I was sad when Fuji quit that form factor.) FujiFilm FinePix f10 (2005 - sold it a few years later when I bought the f40fd) Nikon D70s (2006 - still use it all the time for work) FujiFilm FinePix f40fd (2007 - bought it with an underwater housing to replace the f10 for travel - still have it, rarely use it unless I'm desperately worried whatever I'm doing will result in the camera being destroyed.) Leica X1 (2010 - use it most of the time) Leica M3 (2011) Â I guess I should also mention my iPhones. Working in media and having to deal with people who submit horrendous phone photos, I avoided camera phones like the plague for years, but I have to admit, I've shot a lot of photos since the first iPhone came out, and I'd say my iPhone 4 probably rivals the FujiFilm f40fd, which is another reason I never use it anymore.
