No Nikon D3s? No Canon 7D? No Leica M9? Hmmm...... One other thing: Since the Leica X1 is amazingly slow, you'd best press that button now for images of things that happen next week. It may be slow, but is is expensive.

But I applaud them for doing this, to keep the riff-raff and second-rate stuff out. At least one of those image banks has some integrity. Thought some pros take exception to their tryst with Flickr.

It may be slow, but >is is expensive. You have obviously given the Leica X1 a detailed, extended trial, so perhaps you could tell us what you believe are its good points? What I mean is, you couldn't possibly have made comments such as those you made above without having given the Leica X1 a detailed, extended trial, could you? Because that would make those comments pure BS, and we all know you have *such* a strong aversion to that. ;-)
