What an excellent resource Huffmeister!
This is my personal report about a Leica X2 which I bought two weeks ago.
First of all the design is excellent. A piece of art to watch for hours.
As far as the photographic performance is concerned, the color loyalty to the true situation is excellent, sharpness is wonderful.
In B&W photography the detail range is wonderful. Out of camera JPEG quality is formidable.
And then you may ask me than what my problem is ? Here are my problems and my humble recommendations to my fellow photographer friends:
1) First of all the auto focus is doing a lot of mistakes in the low light, and sometimes it doesn’t even lock into the target no matter what you do.
2) Although it is said that this camera cannot focus to the distances closer than 30 cm, if you are in the low light this can go further away as long a few meters.
3) ISO performance is horrible after 800 level. In 1600 level you start seeing real hard grain.
This is a camera which should be used under ideal or “close to ideal” light conditions only. Otherwise
you will meet with “muddy” pictures full of heavy grain.
4) For this kind of performance the price is too high.
5) Another thing that really got on my nerves is that, the LIVE VIEW is NOT a real live view that we are used from other cameras. What I mean is this: First of all, what you see from the back lcd screen never changes dynamically; the only way to see what your picture is gonna look like is to HALF PRESS the shutter release button but even that shows only for 1 or 2 seconds and even if you keep pressing that button it doesn’t continue to show the real situation to you. So live view is almost useless. So if you will buy this camera just because you fell in love iwth its heart tocuhing artistic design (just like me!) then buy the original Leica EVF too. Otherwise DON’T! If you are going to buy it without an eVF like me, consider it like an old school film camera which you will never see what you got until you bring to the shot to he screen with the PLAY button. Actually that’s how I was using it. But it is not practical of course.
6) The image stabilization system doesn’t help but may even be causing problems for the image quality. So DON’T USE the image stabilization system. Turn it off please.
Given all of the above facts, I find this camera’ s price way too high. I am sorry, this is my opinion. And this has been a good lesson for me about one thing: I WILL NEVER BUY A CAMERA AGAIN BASED ON REVIEWS OR BASED ON THE BEAUTY OT ITS DESIGN. One must go to a place where he/she can try it.Fullstop.
Sure thing guys, give me a few days 🙂
Steve, I think it would be nice if this list of user reports is broken into sections, like ‘cameras’, ‘lenses’, ‘Leica’, ‘general photography’, ‘accessories’, ‘special projects’, ‘comparison reviews’, etc. It will be easier to navigate as the list grows in size, which I’m sure it will. What do you think?
Cheers,
Greg
That sounds like a good idea to me Greg and i woudl add ‘travel’ and ‘film’ to the sections.
Yes, Darell, that would be cool. Anyway, it’s up to Steve to decide if and how he wants to do that.
Cheers,
Greg
