Lecia X2 Fedrigoni Paper Skin 1

Love them or hate them, Leica knows how to make gorgeous looking cameras and now there’s a limited edition Leica X2 clad in all white. Fedrigoni Deutschland gave the Leica X2 the “Paper Skin” treatment replacing the traditional leather band with fine Italian paper (which we didn’t know existed) called “Constellation Jade.”

The specially treated sheets of paper give the camera a pearl embossed look. Beyond appearances, the Fedrigoni’s Constellation Jade is certified for toughness against abrasion tests, acetone, and low temperatures dipping down to -40° F. The camera will arrive in a special box made with the same material styled as a paper sample book. The camera meanwhile looks to be the same 16.1MP Leica X2 with a 24mm f2.8 lens.

Leica is only planning to produce 25 pieces of this special paper wrapped camera and has yet to announce the price for it. While everyone might not be able or want to buy this white, Fedrigoni Paper Skin Leica X2, you can check out more images past the break.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
