IQ expectations

any thoughts on what we can expect from the X1 in terms of image quality?

 

I guess it will be up there with the M8 considering sensor size, lens and 12mp.

 

sure we need to wait for the final release version but do you think it is a reasonable assumption?

 

thanks

I'm sure it'll be decent but I'm not sure I'd assume that it'll be "up there" with the M8 image quality. For one thing there's the CMOS v. CCD thing. For another, the M8 chip is a little larger with fewer pixels. Presumably the X1 sensor will also have an AA filter.

I think that the best assumption that can be made is that the X1 should produce quality on par with a Nikon D300, if that D300 had a Leica lens mounted on the front.

 

The X1 uses essentially the same CMOS sensor used in the D300.

 

FWIW, I've seen X1 images printed up to 20x30 and the results are phenomenal.
