LEICA X2
This is a record using a Leica X2 digital camera.

Impression
The number of pixels has been increased from 12.2 megapixels in the previous generation X1 to 16.4 megapixels.
Compared to the X1, the operation was snappier and easier to use, but I felt that the AF was still not that fast.
I did not buy the X-Vario after this camera, and it served me well as a handy walking camera until I bought the X-typ113.
As shown in the photo used on this page, a “KIWI foto Leica X2/X1 49mm Lens Adapter” was attached to the camera to protect the lens. As the name suggests, the adapter has a 49mm thread, and was a convenient way to attach filters, close-up lenses, lens-hood, and other accessories.
As described in LEICA X1, I feel that the design of X2 is broken as if it is a forced addition of parts retrofitted to X1. In particular, I do not like the design of the pedestal for the EVF2. When I owned X2, I never attached the EVF2, so it seemed more like a useless protrusion.
The flash is also higher and has more light than the X1, but since I never used the flash with this camera, I never popped it up.

Specification
EVF2 (18753) available as a retrofit viewfinder.
Standard exterior colors are black and silver, and X-E has the same specifications as X2.
Many other limited editions have been released, including the Yokohama-edition, Kentaro Kobuchi Edition, White, Olive, and Paul Smith Edition.
It was compatible with the Leica X a la carte, which allows users to choose the body color (3 colors, titanium body color is limited to a la carte) and pasted leather (10 types).
