The nice guys from TheCameraStoreTV tested the new Leica T camera and they really liked it! The only real downside of the camera is it’s price. But you really get a unique camera for the money. And that’s more or less what all other Leica T reviewers do say:
Photoreview writes: “What we can say is that Leica has taken a welcome move into the CSC category and produced equipment that looks smart, performs competently and is likely to please those who yearn to experience Leica’s renowned craftsmanship and style.“
ePhotozine writes: “If you are in the market for a unique camera, and have the budget to spend, then the Leica T Typ 701 is certainly capable of producing good results, however we’d be tempted to wait for additional lenses to be released before committing to the system, particularly when there is a much larger range of lenses available for alternative systems.“
Price and preorders: Silver Leica T at Bhphoto or Adorama. Black Leica T at Bhphoto or Adorama.

A quality hand-polished body camera with image quality not better than competition. Well, if I were to shoot this camera for thirty years, maybe I´d buy it if it had an articulated screen, but this is the digital age and regrettably a camera goes to the bin trash after 5-8 years. I´d buy Leica cameras again if they offer durable and beautiful bodies with renewable sensor-processor units and detachable viewfinders and screens.
