I thought I'd give a bit of feedback after owning the X1D for over a week now..

For the question of what can this do that my Sony can't - well I have been far more motivated to use this camera than the Sony, probably far more motivated to use it than any the Leica gear I've had. From start to finish, photography to processing, this camera provides a lot of joy.
I know I'm still probably in the honey moon period but I have a constant need to take photos with this camera.
The motivation the camera has instilled in me has allowed me to break barriers where I previously held myself back.
One of those barriers was approaching people to take a portrait.
So I've started photographing local musicians, just a quick simple portrait.
It has been a worthwhile investment and I have booked a holiday as well..
