I’ve been blogging about gadgets lately but this is one thing that I really doubt I would but. One it would cost more than my Europe (rescheduled for 2010) trip and two I could get a Leica M9 and a Travel Birkin with that price.
So here are 13 books which I plan on buying, 4 of them I have the actual book, of the 4: 2 are unread and 2 I have ready a few years ago. I also have read 1 book online on Nifty but want a copy on hand.
I’ve have to admit that I was never fascinated with Kindle when Amazon first launched it. I have always liked reading from books rather than from computer screens, there is something about the smell and feel of the paper while you run your fingers through the pages that makes reading more enjoyable.
I have to say that I’m not totally impressed with this latest offering since I really prefer the aluminum unibody of the Macbook Pro with the extra speed and memory plus twice the hard disk space but I totally understand where Apple is coming from when they brought it back.
Leica recently announced X1 alongside with the M9. X1 is a compact camera with a large APS-C sensor and a fixed 35mm equivalent field-of-view F2.8 autofocus lens. It’s slightly bigger than my Leica D-Lux 4 but has a 10x bigger sensor. It is designed closer to the M-series rangefinders. The camera features a 2.7″ LCD and 12MP CMOS sensor with an ISO range of 100 to 3200 and like all real Leicas it’s made in Germany.
