Mirrorless or EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) cameras have become increasingly popular since the first Panasonic micro 4/3 systems came on the market several years ago. Sony jumped in with their NEX series and Samsung put out the NX. Olympus ...

Leading up to the launch of the new X Vario, Leica rolled out a teaser campaign for what they were calling a โ€œMini M.โ€ The campaign was quite effective at building up anticipation for this new camera. So much so that expectations, mine included, got a little o...

Ever since its announcement, Leicaโ€™s new V-Lux 4, the successor of the much loved V-Lux 3, has been turning heads. The super-zoom โ€œSLR-typeโ€ compact camera boasts a 25-600mm lens with a constant aperture of f/2.8, an incredibly fast and versatile combination. ...

When the S2 launched, Leica announced that the camera would feature a dual shutter system. The rear of the S2 has a power switch with three positions: Off, FPS and CS. FPS stands for focal plane shutter, which is standard in just about every SLR-type camera ou...

One of the most frequent wish-list requests we get from S2 users is to have a really good long telephoto. The Leica APO-Tele-Elmar 180mm f/3.5 is an amazingly good lens, but sometimes it just isnโ€™t long enough. Since adapters for third party lenses became avai...
