The Leica X2 is equipped with an APS-C size CMOS sensor, also found in high-end SLRs, achieving superb image quality through its synergy with Leica's high-performance prime lens. Its simple and beautiful design, reminiscent of traditional Leica cameras, is complemented by the tactile feel of its metal body, resulting in a chic and sophisticated camera.

The "Leica X2 Yokohama Edition" features silver accents on the shutter button, shutter dial, aperture dial, and lens barrel, adding a stylish touch to the matte black body. It comes as a set with a shoulder strap and camera protector in a black lizard-style leather, matching the body's covering. Beyond its functionality and image rendering capabilities, its stylish appearance is a significant draw.
