schwabacher Posted June 26, 2011 Share #2 Posted June 26, 2011 What is a better digital starter camera X1 or M8 (M8.2) for someone who wants to understand the Leica system and shoots indoors/outdoors. The person prefers a more hands on, simplier approach.Schwabacher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnsharp Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted June 26, 2011 I only have an X1 but maybe another member knows. I guess a X1 btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted June 26, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 26, 2011 There's nothing hands-on or simple about the M system. I would not recommend it to a rank beginner. If it absolutely has to be a Leica, I suppose the X1 would be a nice system. I would recommend using it with a view finder right from the start, but that's a purely personal evaluation. Also be warned that I have never seen an X1 so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with Leica's and my first cameras were rangefinders- so photography is not new to me the X1 can be very simple as point and shoot or as manual as an "M8". Both a M8 and X1 would have steep learning curves to be comfortable as a "point and shooter"- it took me about 9 months with the X1 to fully understand and attempt to utilize all of its capabilities. If you see a Digilux 2 (not Dlux2) for sale (they go for about $500-900 in good shape) - that might give you a better (and less expensive) way to understand the Leica system.
