Seems like today more and more people are wanting more from a pocket sized cameras. Leica is working hard to bring this to the masses. The Leica X1 has a good platform to start on: * Compact lightweight body with analogue-style control dials * Fixed 24mm F2.8 lens (angle of view equivalent to 35mm lens on full frame) * Program, Shutter priority, Aperture priority, Manual exposure modes * Full range of manual controls * 12.2 Mp APS-C CMOS sensor * ISO 100-3200 * DNG raw format recording The mere mention of the name ‘Leica’ causes certain photographers’ hearts to beat just a little bit faster; this sole survivor of the once-mighty German camera industry is one of the very few genuine ‘heritage’ brands left. The company’s long-running reputation for sheer engineering quality and optically-superb lenses is legendary – many a budding snapper has aspired to own a ‘real’ Leica, eventually. Unfortunately though, this quality is (inevitably) accompanied by heart-stopping prices, meaning such aspirations are often left unfulfilled for many years. – DPreview Click the image above for full preview.]]> http://www.hfortysixit.com/leica-x1-preview/feed/ 0 http://www.hfortysixit.com/sigma-dp2-now-priced-at-bh/ http://www.hfortysixit.com/sigma-dp2-now-priced-at-bh/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:00:47 +0000 hfortysixit http://www.hfortysixit.com/?p=1113 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } Sigma DP2 now priced at B&H! Seems like the Simga DP2 camera is getting lots of hype. Its a camera that falls into a category of its own. With a larger sensor than the average point & shoot, fixed focal length, and using Foveon sensor. With the DP2 many are saying its quicker than the previous model the DP1. With the DP2 arriving sometime in May i’m sure there will be reviews very soon! Click HERE to the Sigma DP2 price at B&H!]]> http://www.hfortysixit.com/sigma-dp2-now-priced-at-bh/feed/ 1
