  1. I was ready to hate this camera. Leica is known for making cameras
    woefully behind the times with technology and having the highest prices
    around. And by behind the times, I don’t just mean the rangefinder
    concept, but low resolution lcd screen, small buffer, etc, etc. However,
    this is the first Leica that I’ve seen which is ahead of the times
    technologically, and which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (only a few
    fingers and a foot). I would think that this camera might piss off
    die-hard Leica lovers (who want to pretend that they live in the 1960s),
    but it is actually by far the most interesting Leica I’ve seen yet.

  3. First the Pro (singular): I LOVE the menu system. It should be a model for
    others to follow – simple, intuitive, Apple-like. Much better than the
    convoluted, obtuse jungle on the Sonys & Panasonics I use.

    Cons: Focus magnification is vastly inferior to focus peaking. Once again
    Leica decides to go half-assed instead of cutting edge. Continuing the
    half-assed tradition is crappy IS. Unbelievable. This isn’t even cutting
    edge; it’s mainstream and Leica still can’t get it right. You can’t turn
    off auto-review??? Are you kidding??? Of course Leica would never stoop to
    a super useful tilting/articulating LCD? So beneath them. Again half-assed.
    No fully silent e-shutter? Even the discontinued $500. Lumix G5 had that
    and it works great. The complete kit with $600. less than world class VF,
    (but not including the $400 M adapter) is $4100. Continuing the proud
    digital Leica tradition of overpriced & underfeatured. Who in their right
    mind would buy this over priced, hand polished status symbol? Again,
    insecure Leica fashion queens obsessed with “coolness”.

    You can get a Sony a7 kit for $2000 that will produce superior results with
    full frame. Add a $50-$100 M adapter and you get FF with M lenses (with
    focus peaking) as opposed to the APS-C crop.

  4. Thanks for the review, BH Photo has the camera already for sale for about
    $1,800.00 for the body alone. It seems really impressive and at that price
    its tempting to buy. Also to me owning a Leica is a little like having a
    Porsche. The camera will eventually become old and out dated but it will
    always have that coolness factor other cameras will never have. Now I
    have something new to wish for :-)

  5. OH please…I hope Apple does not make a Camera Like this. Woefully low
    16mp. but I have a question. What if the touch screen dies? How do you
    shoot? Does this camera have manual?

  7. The completely new APS-C sized *Leica T*
    Fully made out of aluminium.
    This camera looks like camera from Sony (the body) but it is more:
    The lack of buttons on the back (only a touch screen) and a really simple
    interface make this 16 megapixel APS-C sensored camera a camera for
    beginners? No, cause the camera will cost 1,900 (ok, that *is* cheap for a
    Leica).
    Overall: It´s a georgeous new Leica!
