Here’s the second of four video tours of the Leica X1 body and menu system.
It is refreshing to see an uncomplicated menu system. There weren’t countless tabs across the top and down the sides. The X1 has a very straight forward menu system that isn’t too complicated. That’s the result when you have a camera that’s meant for only one thing, making photographs. Unlike most other cameras the X1 doesn’t have video, and it’s not missed one bit. Too my surprise though, Leica did include a ‘face-detect’ mode, but that’s about as tricky as this camera gets.
The Leica X1 was designed around a simple philosophy, put the biggest sensor into the smallest body and throw on an incredible lens. It works for me.
