'The X1 has clearly been designed as an instrument for taking photographs, pure and simple, and features a pared-down, traditionalist design in service of that goal. '
'Extremely high cost. '
'The body is tough though. '
'The Leica X1 is a compact camera with a fixed lens and an APS-C sized sensor. '
'The camera offers a good range of automatic and manual
on Secure Digital cards.'
'It can also be a little tricky to operate the camera in near darkness as the mode dial is rather small and isn't mirrored on the LCD during operation.'
