 Leica X "Edition Moncler"   Digital technology Made in Germany meets art: Leica developed the Leica X "Edition Moncler" in collaboration with Italian fashion label Moncler. Only 1,500 special-edition cameras were produced for the entire global market. Its unmistakeable design and the brilliant pictures it delivers make it an absolute must-have for both fashion-conscious individuals and photography enthusiasts. The camera was premiered in collaboration with Franco-American creative director Fabien Baron. His photographic project shows the Leica X Edition Moncler' against the spectacular scenery of Greenland.  A design classic with class  The Leica X "Edition Moncler" unites the values common to both brands - premium quality and finish. The leather trim in blue, white and red is reminiscent of the French flag and an homage to the origins of the fashion label. The camera case, a padded white pouch, emulates the world-famous look of Moncler down jackets. The matching carrying strap in genuine leather bears the inscription "Leica & Moncler".   Fulfills even the most stringent technical demands   The technical specifications of the Leica X "Edition Moncler" are identical to those of the standard production model of the Leica X camera. It features a professional APS-C-format CMOS sensor with over 16.5 megapixels (effective 16.2 megapixels) and a fast Leica Summilux 23 mm f/1.7 ASPH. lens. In combination with its fast, precise and almost silent autofocus, the Leica X offers outstanding creative freedom and guarantees exceptionally brilliant pictures.  Comprehensive features meet intuitive handling  The Leica X is impressive on account of its extensive range of functions, including video recording in full HD, and simultaneously amazes users with its simple handling concept. Its clearly laid-out functions can be grasped intuitively and are simple to use. The large, high-resolution display shows precisely what the camera is capturing - brightly and in perfect detail - and provides a clear view, even in sunlight.

In Adorama, I bought this product, which I can't find access to in BH and amazon. Great experience.

Great experience

I bought the Leica X to augment my arsenal of cameras, because it's lightweight. I found it's a blast to tote around the city doing street shots and also great for close ups... the image quality is superb, no matter what aperture. I sometimes find it blows out the white in harsh sunlight, but if I adjust the EV all is good. I love shooting food, cocktails, flowers etc. using the 1.7 aperture and getting the creamy blurry bokeh backgrounds. I've had success selling these to the stock photography houses, who demand high resolution. So I guess it depends on what you want this camera to do for you. An added bonus is other photographers love the look of this camera, your camera swag points skyrocket.

Lightweight and very crisp images

I really like the size, build and handling of the Leica X, and the accessory visoflex viewfinder also works well and looks good with the black version of the camera.  The rendering of the images is very good along with subject separation, but this cameral let me down in lens sharpness.  Images were frequently soft, and pp sharpening helped but appeared artificial.  The sharpness at different apertures and distances to subject was clearly not as good as the X2 I had previously used or the Fuji X100T.  Does the X lens not reach the bar set by the X2 or is it just a bad copy?  Either way, a disappointment.  For the price it is fair to expect a superlative lens.
