Good quality but not what I needed

I likes the case but I returned it for the leica half case. I wish the leather piece that opened up when you wanted to access the camera was not sewn in at the bottom. It makes taking a picture feel awkward.

Falling in Love with It

I went from awe to disapointment at first to loving it. The moment I openned the shipping box I was in awe at the unpackaging and then when I first laid eyes on the Leica x2. I loved the size, weight and how relatively easily I was able to set it up to take photo's right away. However my first images were disappointing and I wondered if I had made a big mistake getting it. I then began to 'read" the manual and to play with the settings, I then got down to the nitty gritty - realizing x2 wasn't just any camera but it was for a thinking photographer. The more I played and started putting it through some "tests' low light, taking nature photography, feeling how the auto focus, and then putting it into manual focus -- how the camera reacted I soon began falling in love with the camera. I've only had it for about 2 weeks now -- and I NO longer wonder if I made a mistake -- but rather I wonder where and what I can shoot with it. I look forward to going out and shooting with it to discover more about myself as a photographer and how x2 can help me realize what I want to conceptualize and capture using it. I keep falling in love with it more each day. It's not a camera for everyone - but if you want to grow as a photographer the Leica x2 is the camera to grow you up!!! For right now this early into know it I'm giving it a 4 stars -- but I have a feeling that soon it will become 5 stars!!

The Leica X2 is the second generation posh point-and-shoot from Leica. Featuringa 16MP APS-C CMOS sensor which Leica claims produces very low noise, high dynamic range and accurate color rendering, the Leica X2 is said to have a new autofocus system that the company claims is fast and silent. Leica has changed the touch and feel of the shutter release and dials, added leather trim, a latchtrip for the pop-up flash, and an optional electronic viewfinder. (The X1 had an optical one). Other features include a 24mm f/2.8 ASPH lens (35mm equivalent: 35mm) and a 2.7-inch LCD monitor. The Leica X2 is bundled with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
