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

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)

 

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.

In reverse chrono order:

 

X1

Canon S95

Nikon CoolPix (POS!)

Canon S90

 

Before that Leica MP and Canon digital Rebel (the original 300D, and a whole bunch of white lenses), both of which I still own and use

 

And before that M6TTL and MiniZoom, and before that AE1 and Polaroid 600 and gosh I'm gettin' too old to remember them all now

Update...I shall now sell my Dlux4 and Vlux1 to fund an R8 n lens purchase ;) ...

 

a superb film SLR and great value for body and glass :)

 

My Heart would prefer an M6 and glass though , if honest :rolleyes:

 

X1 for digital more than enough.
