Large sensor, takes amazing images

Expensive, no interchangeable lens system

The Leica X1 is beautifully engineered, and enjoys solid yet lightweight metal construction. It has a great quality lens and is capable of delivering almost three dimensional lifelike images. So what's not to like? Er, have you seen the price? Also...

Excellent image quality with raw files ; Sharp lens right up to edges of the frame ; Beautiful, lightweight and pocket-friendly body ; Analogue dials provide immediate and easy control over exposure ; Reliable metering system

Slow and hesitant AF system ; Below-par LCD quality ; JPEG quality could be better ; Priced far higher than competing models ; Minimum focusing distance of 30cm can be limiting

Crucially, what the X1 sets out to do it does well: that is, to provide high-quality images in a small and compact body

Excellent, sharp images. Little noise up to ISO 3200. Fast f/2.8 lens. HDMI port. Pop-up flash. Elegant design.

Expensive. Slow autofocus. No interchangeable lenses. Fixed focal length (no optical zoom). No video capture.

Pricey and a tad limited in scope and skill, but takes fantastic snaps if you know how to use it. And it’s one of the most stylish cameras around

The Leica X1 is a camera of extremes, offering a compelling blend of stunning design, fantastic handling and superlative image quality, but ultimately suffering from a pared-back feature set, sluggish responsiveness and a sky-high price-tag. The...
