The Leica X2 was introduced in Berlin on May 10, 2012. Also read my aticle on the Leica X1 here.

For info on the Leica X Vario, have a look at the Leica Digilux 2 article with a comparison between the Leica X Vario and the Leica Digilux 2.

1The interesting things about it is the sensor size, the lens and the manual controls.

6.5 MP digital compact rangefinder-camera with a 36mm-equivalent 24mm Leica Elmarit ASPH f/2.8 lens (the sensor size is ASP why the 24mm "cropped" becomes a 36mm "full-frame." Auto focus area is from 60 cm to infinity 1 point focus, 16 points focusing, face detection focusing), in manual focus or macro mode from 30 cm to infinity.

ISO range from 100 to 12,500 ISO on a Kodak CMOS sensor. Shutter speed 30 seconds - 1/2000 second.
3 frames per second in JPG or DNG, or DNG and JPG at the same time (so you can shoot color DNG files and black and white JPG files at the same time).
Manual dials for shutter time and program mode. The circle on top, seen from front, is a pop-up flash.

There is a clear design-reference back to the 1908 original Leica is quite clear.
