So, the Hasselblad Ambasador finds it o.k. and the Leica Dealer is disappointed : honi soit qui mal y pense. I have read Mings opinion, and asked myself, how is it possible that the opinions can vary that much … (in general, I appreciate both Mings and David Farkas point of views and articles). Ah, and I loved your articles on your own blog … but it seems, that EVF experiences will always be highly subjective, at least, until the technology/computer power has reached its peak.And the S system, which I had for a while, is likely to take a big hit from the x1d if it meets expectations. Admittedly Ming Thein is a Hassy ambassador, but he said in his first impressions of an early FW version
"The EVF. It’s good enough – no, not as good as the Leica SL, but I honestly don’t see that much of a difference between this and my Leica Q in terms of detail, either. Refresh rate is a little bit lower, but comparable to the M4/3 cameras in the normal speed setting, significantly faster than the H6’s live view, and another planet from the H5’s live view. It needs contrast and brightness adjustment, but that’s coming in future firmware."
We'll see.
I agree that the X1D probably will hurt the Leica S sales, but for other reasons than the viewfinder (price, compactness, MP, etc.)
