As I said, this is great for fashion styles in east-Asia and their wannabe counterparts in the west.

These two colors as top/bottom plate should not be together.
Or as George Carlon joked, "Nail together two things that have never been nailed together before and some shmuck will buy it."
Amazing what can sell.

The decisive moment is when the person stares at you big red dot and freak out that it's orange and yellow at once!

Oh come on, they've been doing that for decades and there were far more ugly special editions as well:

I know Leica made many ugly special editions but for me, at least they were film cameras. This one from a fashion designer? He should go back to making dresses. LOL.

I prefer film cameras as well, but among the new generation of sultans there must be the demand for digital cameras fitting their wifes designer dresses

what?
did someone already use the phrase "stupendously ugly" ?
it's almost a parody of a tacky fashion accessory.

I think it looks ok. Paul Smith design usually does have that quirky, colorful side to it. Either you like it or you don't.
I actully think a camera such as the X2 is perfect for this kind of thing. Camera-wise it's nothing special so at least it should be able to function as a fashion accessory for affluent customers who want a nice point and shoot.

I didn't realize there was a market for people wanting portraits of subjects puking.

I agree with this but we were supposed to be expecting something a little more appealing from a name like Leica, not a not too appealing point and shoot. Leica, let's see a new M7!!

I think it should be called the Crayola edition. Or Froot Loops edition

And a la carte for the X2, but still no a la carte for the M9?
I like it. If it was the X1 (sans the VF port and associated hump on top) even better...
