The Leica T, like many Leica products, can be a mixed bag. It raises expectations about unprecedented quality with its shiny metal body and high retail price, but quickly disappoints when it comes to the most basic functions such as the lack of an...
The Leica T doesn't really offer any more features than a similarly-priced Nikon or Canon, it has no special tricks, but, it is utterly lovely to hold, operate and be creative with. Machined from a single block of aluminium, it's a minimalist stunner....
Leica's T is an unusual beast, with the resulting product being the sort of product you'd buy if you wanted a mirror-less camera, but needed something that sat in the upper echelon of camera spending money.That said, it's hard to recommend the Leica T to...
Leica's focus on creating a minimalist unit with a dominant touchscreen interface challenges us to re-think the way we interact with a camera's settings. For the most part, it works. You get used to this idea of on-screen control, and that's because the...
If you want a portable Leica and are happy to spend a lot of money on something that is extremely desirable, the T has your name on it. Sure, you could get a full sensor camera for similar money but it will likely weigh a ton or, in the case of the Sony...
As a result, Leica has become a “lifestyle” brand, a status symbol for those wealthy enough to afford to pay five figures or more for a camera system. The company has fully embraced its image, expanding through partnerships with companies far removed...
There's no denying that Leica's first foray in to the compact system camera market won't be to everyone's taste.The unconventional control layout, large touchscreen and lack of a viewfinder - to name but three features - will mean that many Leica...
The Leica T (Typ 701) is an interesting new take on the mirrorless compact system camera, from one of the most traditional camera companies in the world. Yet the Leica T has been designed with a large 3.7inch touch-screen and built in Wi-Fi to enable...
The Leica T is a new mirrorless compact system camera with an APS-C sized 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor. Manufactured from a single block of aluminium, the Leica T also offers an innovative touchscreen 3.7-inch display with 1.3 million pixels, built-in...
The Leica T does what it does very well indeed. It's slick, sleek, well-made and pleasing to use. It lacks, however, the wow-factor that you'd expect when paying this much for a camera. Ultimately, it doesn't do enough to make a compelling case for...
Of course that all slightly misses the point of owning a Leica camera: with its refined build quality and exceptional lenses, it's an object of desire for many photographers with deep enough...
And it is Apple that comes to mind when handling this, the latest German-made Leica T, which takes its place midway between Leica's pocketable X series and its fully professional M range. It has a new mirrorless, interchangeable lens system and its body...
The Leica T is expensive, and a cynic would tell you that it's too expensive to stand up in any comparison to the roughly-similar mirrorless cameras from Fujifilm, Olympus, Sony (and even Samsung). Hold one and shoot with one for an extended period of...
No. Unless youre buying a camera purely as a status symbol, there is nothing the Leica T offers that isnt bested by numerous other camera systems out there. Sony Alpha series (formerly NEX), Olympus OM-D, Fuji X-series; they all out-do the T in nearly...
The Leica T probably wasnt what most people were expecting when they imagined a Leica CSC. The lack of an M mount, viewfinder and control buttons will no doubt mean that many photographers write this camera off without even picking it up, which would be...
3. Making really good cameras that are smaller. Sony, in particular, has attacked this item with a vengeance. It has recognized that the Holy Grail is a big sensor inside, to absorb more light and produce better photos, but a small body outside, to make...
The German manufacturer's first system camera with built-in Wi-Fi is very much a piece of eye candy. It starts shipping this month, and its reverse-psychology promo video has been generating...
The Leica T is a true supermodel of a camera, a masterpiece of design, engineering and machining perfection that begs to be touched and turns the heads of Leica fans and lesser mortals alike. But Leica is adamant that it doesn't make sculptures, and it...
