If you can’t afford the Leica, then buy this one!
Not enough money for the Leica M9? No problem. This is the brand new CSC to buy if you want something cheaper, but with a great image quality!
Thanks to Richard, our reader, who developed this great camera and sent me that image of this gorgeous brand new camera. See it here at amazonUS.
There are some that already compared the Leica M9 and the X-E1. See a short comparison of specs here, and according to this German comparison (translated version), there are 14 reasons to buy the X-E1, and 8 to buy the M9. And also in this comparison, the X-E1 is the winner!
AND ONE MORE!

“It features a manual shutter speed setting” – well, so does the X-E1??
“It has a fixed focal length lens” – the X-E1 has prime lenses.

7 months ago |It also says that the X-E1 isn’t a compact system camera with interchangeable lenses, and that it doesn’t have a removable battery. What camera were they actually looking at?

7 months ago |the german comparison sounds ridiculous…i mean comparing movie functions and stereo mic input with a camera that is a pure photography tool sounds more like someone’s trying to find more reasons to justify the X-E1.
