It's now six months since I got the X2 and I'm still *loving* it! The photo quality rivals and, in some instances, exceeds that of my DSLRs. The vibrant color and sharpness of the images right out of the camera is uncanny. The RAW files just have a ton of dynamic range!
This has become my "walking around" camera and I always slip it in a coat pocket if I'm going out. This has also been a real winner on family trips and vacations - lugging a Canon 5D mkII and lenses across the Pacific was problematic due to its bulk and weight so it was a great relief to just take the X2 the second time around!
ORIGINAL REVIEW 6/25/2012:
The Leica X2 is a singular camera that fits a unique niche in the market. If you are a photographer looking for a fun, stylish and more portable alternative to lugging your DSLR around, without compromising optical quality, the X2 is the ticket. The superb optics of a fixed 35mm equivalent Leica lens combined with a large, high resolution sensor make this small camera hard to resist!
The quality of the photos I've captured with this little box is absolutely wonderful, especially when shot in RAW mode. The inclusion of the full version of Adobe's wonderful Lightroom software helps make this camera a compelling purchase and takes a bit of the sting out of the high sticker price. After shooting for a week with the X2, I noticed something really uncanny! Normally my shots require some modicum of post processing - color adjustment and sharpening at a bare minimum. But, other than conversion to JPG and sizing, the images are for the most part just perfect exactly as shot! The X2 is an astounding camera in this regard!
The lens is wonderfully sharp, even when shot wide open. The colors have that signature three-dimensionality one associates with much more expensive Leica glass. Even though the lens isn't particularly fast at f/2.8, it still works well for separating the subject from the background. I'm loving the color, contrast and clarity of the X2's pictures. The 35mm (equivalent) field of view is the perfect "walking around" focal length - wide enough to take in landscapes but narrow enough for street photography or portraits.
If you want a camera that will take fast action shots, shoots HD movies and has an all-purpose zoom lens with a hundred in-camera "styles", the X2 is definitely not what you're looking for, but if you want absolutely stunning high-quality images in a small no-compromise package, this is it!

When I got home I downloaded the pictures into the Adobe Lightroom, which comes free with the purchase of the camera. I had not used Lightroom before - I had only used Apple's iPhoto. After putting some fine touches on the images with Lightroom, the pictures really came to life. Lightroom has many features for handling RAW and JPEG images. The image sharpness was very good as well. At first I didn't like the fact that the lens has a fixed width (wide angle). This makes it great for outdoors but not too user friendly for close-ups. The fixed width wasn't that much of a problem though, because I could usually crop down on any of my photos if I wanted less background without losing much sharpness. The flash on the camera I have only used once or twice and I don't like it. The photos look very 'flashy' if you know what I mean. But you really don't need the flash that much as the camera is pretty sensitive even in low light conditions. The cost is a bit much but you kind of get what you pay for because this is not your typical point and shoot even though you have the convenience of one. BTW - if you are new to Lightroom you would want to take some instruction on it before using it, as you will probably not be able to figure it out on your own. I would recommend Lynda.com for this instruction.
