digitalpowershot Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1121 Posted June 4, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) After looking at the new unboxed camera, the leaked image looks pretty accurate. Now it could be that it is with interchangeable lens or a fast zoom. I still do not believe the lettering on the lens is accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 Hi digitalpowershot, Take a look here Mini M? [MERGED] AKA X-Vario. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Larzon Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1122 Posted June 4, 2013 Damn. Really looks like a fixed lens on a large FF Body. Boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjb Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1124 Posted June 4, 2013 Hmmmmm. The burlesque routine continues as mini-M removes some more cardboard frock. Still not possible to 100% confirm the lens type, but it looks to me more like the X2's retracting style lens, not the non-retracting one in the leaked photo.

satijntje Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1125 Posted June 4, 2013 my 2 ct: on the right top-side of the pic, one can see that there is a build-in flash. From the details on the lens, I would bet on a fixed zoom lens. Height of camera is between M and X... Nothing more:cool: John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannybuoy Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1126 Posted June 4, 2013 Not so much Mini M but Maxi X. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneshot Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1127 Posted June 4, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) John I don't think it's a build-in flash, the shape is not the same as the X2 pop-up flash. I think it's a EVF with hinge. This mini is higher than the X2, why ? use of an EVF maybe an FF sensor ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1128 Posted June 4, 2013 Considering both of the undressing/unboxing pics are different, who knows what the final thing will be. Lens release (etc.) or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1129 Posted June 4, 2013 I don't see any metal tabs sticking up where the hot shoe would be. I wonder if the possibility of an integrated EVF is back on the table. In fact, if the French leaked photo is a fake, then a lot of things are possible once again. More megapixels, larger size sensor? Improvements in focussing speed? Faster lens? Fixed focal length instead of zoom? Hmmmmmmm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimtong Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1131 Posted June 4, 2013 Could be a pop up EVF:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1132 Posted June 4, 2013 This thing just got interesting again. Soz to burst your excitement bubble but I think you're looking too far into this. I see a hot shoe. It's just not as prominent as it's recessed into the new top plate. But they removed the X2's flash off the first undressing pic so who knows if they are leaving anything else off.

colonel Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1133 Posted June 4, 2013 I want to be the first to say that a compact fixed zoom APS-C camera would be very exciting to me, there is nothing else like it on the market, if you want interchangeable FF get a M, interchangeable APS-C there is alot of choice.

stevelap Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1134 Posted June 4, 2013 ..................Still not possible to 100% confirm the lens type, but it looks to me more like the X2's retracting style lens, not the non-retracting one in the leaked photo. I agree, although I'm not too sure that we can really infer much from the 'box'. The Facebook leak (most seem to think it's faked) suggested a 24.1mpx APS-C sensor. Such a sensor exists in Sony's stable of course, and Sony provide the sensor in the existing X series don't they........ The same leak suggested an Elmarit Vario, which of necessity would be bigger than the X2's fixed 24mm Elmarit hence a bigger camera..... A not too difficult guess at specs by the 'leaks' author perhaps, or maybe more than a coincidence? Who knows, I don't, but from Leica's point of view an 'X3 Vario' would be a logical next step in that series. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atournas Posted June 4, 2013 Share #1136 Posted June 4, 2013 If we recollect evolutions of other Leica compacts in the past (Mini 3, then Mini 3 Zoom; Minilux, then Minilux Zoom; CM, then CM Zoom), we should expect, either on 11th June or some other time, an X camera with a zoom lens. But it should belong to the "X" family, that is, a "Micro" one, right? Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI There Steve I don't think he said it was the first (Sony R1 I think) - but the Canon G1x certainly doesn't count (sensor not much bigger than µ43), so it certainly would be the only one on the market at the moment.

I am thinking (dreaming?) about either 1) best-in-class performance for this category using an APS-C sized sensor, or, 2) maybe an APS-H sensor (not sure if anyone has it, either a camera mfr, or supplier). I previously assumed the "leaked" photo/spec was accurate, but, Leica's latest "reveal" earlier today makes me think otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
