New image of the Leica Vario!

Leica Camera Forum leaked a new image of the Leica X Vario Type 107 camera. Specs are the one I posted last week.

So after all my original specs were correct and the Leica teaser with the slogan “heard the rumors, get the truth” was just a weird attempt to fool us rumor sites :)

I guess no one will buy this camera. 2450 Euro for a fixed lens camera with 16 megapixel Sony APS-C sensor and slow lens. Niet!

Nope, I was right! Leica Mini M specs are boring :)
