Some Saturday Leica X1 Love… The weekend is upon us and it’s a BEAUTIFUL grey and rainy day here in Phoenix, AZ! Yes, beautiful as it is a break from the extreme heat and sun! Anyway, just thought I would post a slew of X1 photos that I took over the past 3-4 weeks. Total [Read More...]
I had a few more requests for some comparisons with the Sony NEX 5 at low ISO and high ISO. So, since I am against shooting charts and graphs I decided to shoot my favorite macaroni and cheese All images are straight out of camera JPEGS, starting with ISO 200 from the NEX-5, then Leica [Read More...]
I’m back from Europe, jet lag and all! I’m back home after a week on tour with Seal and after what seemed like a solid 20 hours of travel time to get back home, I arrived and crashed for 10 hours. Today I felt great and am now fully rested so figured it was time [Read More...]
July 15th 2010 – Hey guys, on the bus headed for Florence, Italy and I was able to connect to WiFi for a bit so I uploaded some shots from last nights show in Croatia. This one was more of a challenge due to lighting, access, etc. but I still walked away with some cool [Read More...]
Hey guys! I am back today, a bit earlier than planned but I had a good day today at Slide Rock State Park which is near Sedona, AZ. I was not really in the mood to snap pics but once I got going I had a good time. Just wanted to chime in and say [Read More...]
The high ISO test between the Olympus E-P2, Leica X1 and Sony NEX-3. I’ll keep this one short and simple. Same subject. Same light. (which was LOW for the higher ISO shots 1600/3200) All three cameras set to ISO 400, 1600 and then 3200 with their default evaluative metering and settings. All images straight out [Read More...]
More thoughts and images on the Leica X1 by Steve Huff I took the leap and purchased a Leica X1 a few days ago. I knew I would eventually wind up with one somehow because I was sort of smitten with it during my review. It may not be the quickest or most technologically advanced [Read More...]
Most of you have seen my (long) review of the Leica X1 but today Amy Medina sent me her short but sweet thoughts on shooting the X1 after buying one of her own. Amy has been shooting with a Leica M8 for quite some time and it sounds like she loves her new X1, quirks [Read More...]
Those of us waiting for the Leica X1 have noticed the camera was delayed from a January release to February release. No one really knew why but today I had an e-mail from someone who stated their dealer told them the delay was to fix the slow AF speed. I kind of shrugged this off [Read More...]
I was going through my Leica X1 images (Pre-Order at Amazon) on my hard drive and found a few more I could post. These are various ISO’s and some have been converted to black and white using Nik Silver Efex pro but all are from the Leica X1. Enjoy!
MY LEICA X1 REVIEW IS HERE! IS THIS THE BEST COMPACT DIGITAL CAMERA EVER? OH MY GOODNESS! The last 3 weeks have been some of the funnest times and also some of the most frustrating times I have had shooting a camera. I have been shooting and vigorously testing a Leica X1 and man oh [Read More...]
Here you go! I have been having so much fun with the X1 and E-P2 I had to post an image here. Also, since I have been breaking my back shooting with the Nikon D3s as well, I threw one in from that camera as well at ISO 16,000. BTW, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Leica X1 [Read More...]
With all of the talk of the Leica X1 and its poor AF performance I decided to throw together a quick video showing you how fast it is. No, it is not close to a DSLR or a Panasonic GF1 but it is not as bad as some seem to think. I shoot with center [Read More...]
Received the Leica X1 today in its ful packaging and let me tell you that if a camera was judged on packaging and looks alone, this X1 would be the most amazing camera ever made. I will be shooting it for 2-3 weeks and a review will follow but wanted to post two of my [Read More...]
I should be getting an X1 very soon to review and it looks like a sweet camera. There have been a couple reviews posted on the camera elsewhere and I can not wait to get one to check out. I plan on a pretty long review with a ton of photos and full size samples. [Read More...]
