Aptus Reviews
'Turning a new leaf'; the British Journal of Photography's July edition reviews the Leaf Aptus. "The touch-screen preview on the Aptus back is brilliantly thought-out and implemented. The v10 software is awesome... The rapid capture rate, superb workflow and outstanding image quality could win the day."
Michael Reichmann of The Luminous Landscape non-commercial website reviewed the Leaf Aptus in May 2005.
Check
out his review
of the pre-production unit he received and tested.
"The
first thing that catches your attention about the Aptus is its drop-dead
screen... big, bright and offering high resolution… this truly can be
used to evaluate image quality."
