Leica has recently introduced another compact camera with a large APS-C sensor called the X1. The camera offers a 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor (APS-C size), a fixed 36mm equivalent field-of-view F2.8 autofocus lens and a 2.7-inch LCD. It also comes with several advanced features including analogue-style shutter speed and aperture dials, 11-point high speed contrast detect AF system, Face Detection, ISO up to 3200 and RAW image format support. The Leica X1 will ship in early 2010 for around $2,000. [DCresource]
