24 mm f/2.8 lens
"...and a 50mm f/3.5 Elmar lens". I believe it has a 24 mm f/2.8 lens which would be a 35mm lens in terms of the 35mm film format.

UGLY ? Not really
This has come up in the wrong comment box,,Maybe but it's a Leica and if you go back through history the Quality is beyond doubt. USED BY experts since before most of us were born, even Though I use a Hasselblad I would buy one.

"Quality?" Or hype?
This is actually a Panasonic. Just like the Minilux and Leica CM were only "Leica" in name. I can't disagree that the Leica M heritage is legendary. But, they've partnered with more 'tech-savvy' companies recently to help them place products in the modern age.
That Getty has "accepted" this camera seems more like a PR stunt than anything. Doesn't mean they'll actually take the images seriously when they're submitted.

not a panasonic
This is actually not right. It's true the older leica compact cameras were leica-branded panasonics but this one is the first compact camera developed and manufactured by Leica in Germany.
And why shouldn't Getty Images approve Leica X1 photos? Look for some of them on flickr. You'll see they're comparable to photos taken by proper SLRs.
