rcaires Posted September 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted September 21, 2009 Here is another review: DSLR Magazine - Leica X1 The samples are not fantastic, for the moment! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhabedi Posted September 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2009 a good user review of X1 I can't see how this is a good review. It seems the guy grabbed a pre-production model of an X1 at some Leica presentation and managed to insert his own memory card to take a few uninspired shots. Other than that, he mainly repeated what is available from the Leica website. I'd rather wait until some of the more serious reviewers out there had the chance to investigate the real thing.

jaapv Posted September 21, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 21, 2009 Well, yes, preview would be a better word. I wonder, though, where he got the rather strange ISO samples from. Lower ISO appears to be noisier than higher is some cases, and it does appers to be CMos type oversmoothed. I think the final output when the camera is on the shelves will be quite different.

jpattison Posted September 21, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 21, 2009 He keeps talking about it having the "M" type shutter and aperture dials !!! Also he has a 24mm viewfinder on top! such is the internet.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives him the Rangefinder feeling, seeing what's going on outside the frame... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicpeh Posted September 21, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 21, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well, yes, preview would be a better word.

I think the final output when the camera is on the shelves will be quite different. Just curious but wonder why Leica did not choose a CCD sensor for the X1 and went for a CMOS instead. The Sony 10MP CCD sensors have been used in Nikon DSLRs with good effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljclark Posted September 21, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 21, 2009 Just curious but wonder why Leica did not choose a CCD sensor for the X1 and went for a CMOS instead. The Sony 10MP CCD sensors have been used in Nikon DSLRs with good effect. Live View. My D300s have CMOS. As do the D300s, D5000, D3x, D90, D700, D3, etc. It appears that Nikon has been using CCDs only in the less expensive DSLRs for the past couple of years.

ljclark Posted September 21, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 21, 2009 A rather pedestrian "review". I guess the "noise" samples might be interesting to some, but since we don't know how they were made or processed, who knows what the real characteristics are. As noted earlier, we'll need to wait an see the real thing. (At least with the internet, such trivial things do not result in any trees sacrificing their lives.)
