2. Leica X2 – sample and comparative shots

As we got a permission to publish photos, we decided to compare quickly the camera, presented today, with two other models: the Leica X1 and their competitor, the Fujifilm X100. The shots of a mini-episode were saved as JPEG files with the anti-noise and sharpening filters set at minimum. The white balance was set using white reference (and, as you see, it didn’t perform nicely when it comes to the cameras of that German producer).
