Advertisement Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi erlingmm, Take a look here Another price drop for the X Vario. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Herr Barnack Posted May 29, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted May 29, 2014 Have there been any price reductions in the U.S.? If so, I haven't heard of them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiver Posted May 29, 2014 Share #3 Â Posted May 29, 2014 Getting lower in Australia, too. It's available for $2590 in at least one place, which is a far cry from the $3300 original retail. Â Some online stores are offering it at AUD$1970, but I really wonder where that stock comes from, and if it has an Australian warranty. Most likely not, at that price. I'd prefer to buy from a brick and mortar Australian store to get local warranty and support if necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikej Posted May 29, 2014 Share #7 Â Posted May 29, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, all - I just bought a silver X Vario from B&H at $2,249 and I couldn't be happier. The camera feels much more substantial in my hand than my X2 and I realized how much I missed the zoom function. Cheers, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2014 Share #8 Â Posted May 29, 2014 Yikes! And I thought that Leica's always held their value well. (Even the Panasonic-rebranded Leica D-Lux series has retained good resale value in the past for me.) Â This is great news for prospective buyers of new or used XV's. It's bad news for someone like me who just bought a T and is selling an XV. Â I nonetheless have no regrets for owning an XV. I always thought it is a super camera even at its original price. It's now an even better camera, with its bigger bang for the buck. Â Timing is everything in life... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
srivastava Posted May 29, 2014 Share #9 Â Posted May 29, 2014 Anyone know of any websites / stores in UK offering the reduced price? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted May 30, 2014 Share #10 Â Posted May 30, 2014 There is a special offer in the UK as a 100 yr celebration bonus, which adds loads of extras, but It (officially) ends tomorrow, so you may have to move quick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted May 30, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted May 30, 2014 Any Norwegian members could recommend a shop there. I have been on the sites of a few but they don't seem to ship outside Norway, unless perhaps you have to call them to arrange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted May 30, 2014 Share #12 Â Posted May 30, 2014 Listed prices seem stable in the UK at present and I can't see any significant change in the offing. The XV is unique. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom0511 Posted May 30, 2014 Share #13 Â Posted May 30, 2014 I think with those prices if not a X2 + X-Vario is the more flexible and better solution over a Leica T with 24 and zoom. The x2 is quite small and fits into a pocket, you don't have to change lenses, and you have a backup if one camera fails. Plus the nicer (IMO) user interface.

jlindstrom Posted May 31, 2014 Share #15  Posted May 31, 2014 Seems that norwegian dealer interfoto as has a webshop with the sub-1500€ price for X-vario. Wonder if they deliver abroad.. might just throw them an email about it.  I was more thinking about getting a lens for my M240, but with that peice the vario starts to look interesting.. especially since I already have the evf.  Interesting..  //Juha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, both of them currently produce better dng files than the T. Â Cheers, Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Martin Posted May 31, 2014 Share #18  Posted May 31, 2014 According to latest LFI The T shares sensor with X Vario. //Juha  As in old sensor re hashed. It could have had the later Sony sensor.,there seem to be issues with the number of files you can transfer over the "app" at any one time too, I.e. 1 !  I think it was released before it was tested properly as there seems to be several things that interested people and owners would have liked, that are now bring pointed out. There are several request for alterations that they would like addressed in firmware updates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Nomad64 Posted May 31, 2014 Share #19  Posted May 31, 2014 According to latest LFI The T shares sensor with X Vario. //Juha  It does indeed. The sensor is the same for the T, for the X Vario and for the X2. The problem is that each camera is optimized in a different way and based on the DNGs I found around, so far the T's DNGs are the worst to work with. OOC jpgs from the T are very good as are the X Vario's whilst the X2's suck. But starting from DNGs, X2's are good, X Vario are very good but T's are not. The most evident inconveniences are fringing and noise.  Cheers, Bruno Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiafish Posted June 1, 2014 Share #20 Â Posted June 1, 2014 GREAT pricing on the X Vario, but surprisingly the X2 is still selling at original price and only $100 or so cheaper than X Vario. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
