A few years back, I bought and used extensively a black X1. I later sold it to use the X2, X100, RX1 and similar cameras. After many thousands of frames with these cameras, each of which was great it in its own way, I recently looked back through the photos and concluded that I liked the X1 rendering best of all. With the X1 now selling used at bargain prices, I bought another X1, reversing my earlier decision to sell it for supposedly new and improved models.
When the deal was completed, the seller mentioned in his email that he regretted selling it more than any camera he'd had, but was selling because he just couldn't justify keeping it, as he used his other gear more often. He said, though, noting my story, that maybe one day he'd do what I did and buy another.
When the X1 arrived, I emailed him to confirm it was received and thank him. He told me that he had already bought another X1. And that his wife thought he was crazy.
It is funny how Leica has a way of releasing new products that don't quite render the old ones obsolete.
