Leica X1 camera review Introduction
Design. The X1 is an intriguing, and generally very successful attempt to apply retro styling to what at heart is a modern compact digicam. There's more than a hint of Leica M to it, with its two-tone finish, rounded sides, and analogue-style control dials and drive mode switch on the top plate; even the strap lugs and accompanying anti-brassing plates are copied over.

Leica X1 Review Digital Photography Review
The biggest problem when drawing a final conclusion on the X1 is of course the typical Leica price tag - this is the most expensive compact camera on the market by a huge margin.

The X2 has the Olympus VF2 attached, a cheaper alternative to the identical Leica VF-2; it provides full EVF capability. The X1 has the lovely metal Voigtländer 35mm OVF attached; old school but it works well, and the green focus lock light on the camera is still visible in the periphery of vision when using it.
