Leica did and still pretend it does this.
Yet, the L1 was 1800€, and the Digilux 2300€ or so, which made the Red
Dot tag worth 500€ ...
Irrespective of its flaws I loved the colour rendition of that camera,
superior to the M9's BTW.
And at 1500 - 500 = 1000€, a dotless X1 could have been tempting.
Now it's on the top of whose shelves?
