Two years ago, I introduced you to the Leica X1, the most beautiful digital camera yet seen, with its stylistic echo of the 1925 Leica 1 model, and ridiculous ease of use and peerless image quality. Since then, the market for retro-styled super-cameras h...

Stuff magazine Fri, Aug 17 2012, 12:03PM The X2 is Leica’s update of 2010’s , a retro-flavoured, large sensor camera that we adored but felt was a little too limiting to appeal to the masses. It’s not a fundamental change, to be quite honest. The...

The Leica X2 is a bit like the Ferrari of the camera world. It looks gorgeous, has some enviable features, but it’s also extortionately expensive. And it’s that last point that will price it out of most people's reach. How expensive? Try £1575 for the...
Looks great, improved autofocus, much better battery life, manual dials (now firmer), sharp lens, good image quality, download copy of latest Adobe Lightroom included in the price...
Pricey, no close-up focus, small and low-resolution screen, no ND filter (built-in or lens-mountable), won't suit the average consumer, image quality (although good) isn't any better than a high-end compact system camera...
The X2 improves upon its predecessor and is a great, stylised statement camera. The fixed lens (36mm in full-frame terms) won’t suit all, but for the niche market its aimed at it’s a cracking compact camera. But the £1575 price tag - although not unexp...

It has been almost three years since Leica released its X1 compact camera. At the time, it faced little competition as the only other compact cameras with large APS-C-sized sensors were the Sigma DP1 and DP2. Since then, the market has shifted away from D...
In what is becoming a very competitive and overlapping market, the Leica X2 stands out as a high-quality, well-built camera, with a sharp lens and good image quality at low sensitivities. Sadly, however, the X2 has in many ways arrived a few years too lat...

One new feature of the Leica X2 is a little connector just under the flash hot-shoe which can be used to hook up an external tilting EVF (note that more accessories may follow). This can be handy for lining up shots in strong sunlight. The Leica EVF di...

The Leica X2 is a superb expert compact that'll please photo enthusiasts looking for a simple model that takes great-quality pictures and which isn't too slow to use. But the generally excellent quality makes it all the more difficult to overlook blips...

The Leica X2 is a 16 megapixel compact camera with a 36mm fixed lens and a 2.7 inch LCD screen. The X2 has an APS-C sized, 23.6x15.8mm CMOS sensor with a 3:2 aspect ratio, which promises to deliver similar image quality to a DSLR camera. The image-stabili...

The excellent optics and solid build quality of the Leica X2 ($1,995 list) match its luxury price point, but the camera lacks features you'd expect from one that costs this much. It does have a sharp 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit lens, which delivers roughly the fie...

High-quality compact-sized cameras were few and far between when the X1 was released, and that made it a tempting (if pricey) proposition. Today, however, the market the X2 enters has changed considerably. Not only have we seen the arrival of a host o...
