Leica is now an app…

To my eyes at least, the Leica was better in every case in this comparison. Quite surprising, but there it is. Interested to know whether you others think the same?

I didn't see much difference between the two. Frankly, most of the comparison photos in the video were pretty bad. I think the Leitz Phone has a 19mm-equivalent main camera so maybe the iPhone photos were using the Ultrawide camera in comparison. I generally dislike ultra wide angle perspectives (anything wider than about 20mm equiv.) so maybe that's why I had such a negative reaction to these photos.

Dissecting the Myth, Is The Leica Look Just a Mere Preset Away?

It seems a perfectly decent camera app. However, the "free" mode doesn't allow many options, and I'm unwilling to spend $6 per month to get the rest of the features, given that the Moment camera costs nothing, offers most of the same features, and offers a one-time in-app purchase (~$8) for time lapse and slow shutter add-ons.

The biggest thing I see Leica LUX offering is aperture simulation so you can thin the DoF easily. Is this what constitutes the "Leica look", shallow DoF? Hmm.
