We were given the opportunity to test a production version of the Leica X1 at the German manufacturer's Mayfair store in the heart of London earlier today, and to share the full-resolution images with you. There are 50 JPEG photos taken indoors and outdoors in our Leica X1 gallery, plus 15 RAW files in the Adobe DNG file format.

The Leica X1 is a new compact camera offering a large 12.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, as found in larger DSLR cameras, and a fixed 24mm f/2.8 lens (equivalent to 36mm).

Styled like a baby Leica M9, the X1 features twin control dials on top of its body for setting the shutter speed and aperture, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and an ISO range of 100-3200.

The Leica X1 costs £1,395 camera-only in the UK and there are a range of luxury accessories available on launch, including a large and very bright optical viewfinder that slots into the camera’s hotshoe.
