What type of camera is the FUJI XPro 1 and say a LEICA M1?

[snapsnap1973]

Hi.

I'm wondering after watching someone on Youtube be interviewed about "street photography" what TYPE of camera a FUJI XPRO 1 is and why they're so expensive. Are these just "point and shoots" or are they "bridge cameras" or are they "four thirds"?

I guess I don't know all the different types of cameras. Also why is the LEICA M1 so expensive and sought after? I mean it's not even a DSLR. To me the LEICA M1 looks like a "retro" point and shoot camera.


Thanks

The Leica M1 is a rare 1959 viewfinder 35 mm film camera that takes interchangeable lenses. No rangefinder, no meter. Did you mean the M1? The X1?

The X-Pro 1 is quite a difficult camera to describe succinctly and adequately. It is a mirrorless APS-C interchangeable lens camera with an X-Trans CMOS sensor (instead of the normal Bayer matrix) and hybrid viewfinder. Best idea might be to Google it, if you are interested.
