Why someone buys the Leica X Vario 5

People who are not bad for money will buy and use as toys.

If you already have a DSLR, people who find it troublesome and want to get a portable high-end camera will buy it.

Photographers photography enthusiasts will buy it, it is impossible to run around with a DSLR at all times, or when the SLR encounters a failure and needs to shoot urgently as a backup portable camera.

The literary youth will buy it, and the brand is good.

There are three points where the X vario is valuable, 1 is the brand effect of Leica, the card machine with Leica is not afraid to meet with digital Hasselblad, but with 5D3 when it meets with digital Hasselblad, it immediately withered. 2 is Leica's lens, Leica's own lenses on the camera cannot be said to be the first, at least the top few in the same class. 3 is Leica's color mixing, the original Leica flavor is guaranteed, not an imitation of the later PS adjustment, Leica flavor is the only one recognized and recognized value in the market The best effect selling point, Canon flavor, Nikon flavor and even Hasselblad flavor are not in the market.

There is no opponent to challenge.

A few questions to ask before you start with the Leica X Vario:

Why is there a speed dial + aperture dial on the top of the fuselage instead of a mode selection dial?

Why is the lens designed to be electronically + mechanically hybrid, autofocus and manual focus, why is it switched by rotation, and what is the function of the focus distance scale?

All of the above are designed to facilitate what kind of operation and in what situations is this operation suitable for application?

If you know exactly what the X Vario is designed to do, then this is the machine for you; If you don't know the answers to these questions, it's better not to touch the x vario yet, not because it's not good, but because you may not be able to use the most valuable part of it;

Another 12,000 budget can go to the full frame.

Sony's mirrorless A7 (ILCE-7) + 28-70 set can be used as the first choice;

The Nikon D610 plus the lens is a bit over-budget, and the same is true for the Canon 6D.

No!

The Leica X Vario camera is a portable camera ......This is the definition on the official website.

In addition, the camera does not have an optical viewfinder consisting of a reflector and a pentaprism, and does not meet the definition of a DSLR ......

The imaging quality of the Leica X-lens camera is not very ideal. For example, the use of zoom lenses with the X Vario can be said to be a new experiment. This lens has a practical focal length equivalent of 28-70mm, and with the APS-C specification sensor, the imaging performance is relatively weak.

This is an intermediate product of an experimental attempt, as a rangefinder manual enthusiast will not accept, people, street photography, landscape documentaries, focal length and aperture are not attractive enough, the pedigree is not pure, if you want to travel with a lightweight camera, or amateur photography circles yearn for a red cola mark for their own noble halo, then you can choose this camera. Otherwise there is no point. FYI.
