The camera is sexy, there’s no question about that. But, it just seems a warmed up x1 – same focal length, same not-so-fast-for-a-fixed-lens 2.8 maximum aperture, no built in EVF (and the “Leica” clip-on EVF just screams Olympus to me). Ok, we have more megapixels. And the new AF is supposedly faster. This is a [...]

It seems the x2 be aps-c, so it will sit next to the x-1 in leica’s lineup. Will they finally implement fast af in that camera? It seems like it will accept an EVF, that’s good (the x-1 had none), what’s probably not so good is that, being a leica, it will cost an arm [...]

I don’t entirely agree with your point of view. Although having some sort of compatibility with EF lenses would be nice, I’d rather have them create an entirely new stable of high quality small lenses optimized for mirrorless cameras. Sony for instance has a pretty elegant solution for mounting alpha lenses with full time phase [...]

Very well said. Unfortunately, in todays world of consumer electronics, dayly product launches, “by the numbers” comparisons and all sort of gear-related discussions, sometimes we lose perspective of what photography is about. I couldn’t agree more, a camera is an instrument, and very much the same way as a guitar player might feel more connected [...]

Kylberg, thanks for sharing your impressions. I’m definitely tempted by the X-Pro1, even more now that I have an x100!!!

+1 on X-Pro 1. That camera system ticks so many wishes: – Great IQ – Quality primes lineup – Lots of manual control / feedback – Understated look My main doubt is regarding the AF – it should really be faster for a 2012 relatively high end camera. But then again, I have an x100, [...]

The G1X concept is very interesting as it packs a lot of punch in a small camera, but flawed with a rather slow AF, no viewfinder and slow lens at the long end. For a camera like that to really capture prosumers imagination, they should go for a shorter, faster lens like 24-70 2.8 equivalent, [...]

Exactly, thats why I think, if anything, they should take cues from their own Canonet line of rangefinders, but not the AE-1.

I don’t think Canon will go for a design like this. Their cameras are pretty utilitarian, understated, and without bling, they look professional. I hope they continue on that path, and not some retro-ugly thing (a la OM-D). Don’t get me wrong, i’m not saying retro is bad per se, a little touch can help, [...]

By the same token, I would say “I’m not a fan of retro design by itself”
