Of course since little is known about either camera all that we have to go by is the reputation of the makers. Perhaps a better comparison might be how the X1 stacks up against the Olympus E-P1. Both will have the same size sensors although the Olympus is lower priced. Neither has a built in viewfinder. Both feature metal construction and a high "elegance" factor. But echoing the comments of others on the list, I don't know what market the X1 is really aimed at. Perhaps it is Leica's intent to use up surplus parts from the discontinued M8s. Larry Z
