Pros: Lightness, portability, quality

Cons: Zoom a bit slow

Opinion: Of course you don't buy this camera for sports photos, hunting photography, great for portraits landscapes architecture. On the quality of the sensor I have read all colors, especially in specialized magazines that ignore how to use a 4/3 sensor, insisting on comparing focal length equivalent to FF with equal iso and aperture settings. The sensor is smaller than FF and therefore to have the same photo taken with FF, you need to go down two apertures and 2 stops. so if with the FF I shoot at 400 iso F8, with the 4/3 I will have the same frame and PC with 100 iso at F4. The advantages with low light, and without noise, are obvious. It's not good for blur fanatics as a 25mm equivalent to 50mm on FF is still a wide-angle and therefore less PC.

Pros: Portability, files (dng and jpeg), optical quality, construction, practicality

Cons: Reviews on the Internet ;) and (for those who find it necessary) slow zooming

Opinion: as I wrote it is a very good camera that is very portable, not like Ricoh GR3 but you don't mind keeping it with you. well built, gives great satisfaction, is always reliable in all the situations for which it is created (IMHO street, landscapes and portraits, certainly it is not made for birdlife). The files are not very large but more than enough for 80% of the use you make of them, with the new LR algorithms you forget about high or low ISO (however it works well up to 3200) The menu of a disarming and super effective ease of use panned by many online reviewers is amazing, but I don't understand the sense. It is obviously no surprise that it is an expensive item and therefore when one goes to the store one knows what he is spending. decent AF (I never missed a shot but I don't do birdlife). Just if we want to find a flaw as said by many, the zoom is a little too slow and sometimes some shots are lost because of this. hi G

Pros: Portability with the grep is top. Essential viewfinder and Tati

Cons: Problematic notes of a 4/3 sensor

Opinion: I've owned the Leica D-Lux 8 for about a week. I come from a Lumix SR1 with a 24-105mm f/4 lens. Given the premise, I would like to share my opinion as a photography enthusiast. Having tested several cameras, from the Olympus M5 to the Panasonic Lumix S1R, I was aware of the differences between the two sensors, including their strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, evaluating the transition from Full Frame to Micro Four Thirds, I was aware of a possible loss in terms of detail and sharpness. However, since loving photography means, at least for me, capturing the special moments, and considering that the Lumix had a considerable weight and bulk, I noticed that I often left the camera at home, preferring to shoot with the more compact Sony ZV1. The moment I decided to make the change was at the end of June, while I was on the beach. A few meters from me, a seagull was catching a crab naturally. I took out the Sony and I seized the moment, but looking at the photo, although beautiful, I noticed all the difficulties of a small sensor. At that moment I realized that, if I had the Lumix, I would have taken an extraordinary photo, but I didn't have it with me because it was too heavy to carry on the beach. I then started evaluating several compact multifunction cameras and, after reading countless reviews from various brands, I opted for the Leica D-Lux 8 for the following reasons: It has a real viewfinder, which I find excellent. I prefer to take photos looking into the viewfinder. The interface and menu are simple and intuitive, allowing you to find every function without having to consult the instruction manual or waste time searching. The camera is extremely portable and lightweight. Initially, I was worried that it might slip out of my hands due to its compactness, so I bought a Black List 1/8 grip and UV filter to improve the grip and protect the lens from dust, which tends to attract itself. The monitor is clearly visible. As for the noise, it is present but less than I remembered. I took a photo in the dark in a square in Reggio Emilia at 4 am (F 1.7, ISO 5000, 1/60 s, handheld) and the noise was noticeable, but Lightroom solved the situation. The thing that struck me the most is the quality of the files, both in terms of rendering and colors, even in DNG format. Editing is extremely simple, just press two buttons to make the main changes, while the rest is customizable according to your taste. Finally, I would like to mention the Leica app, which I rarely use but find well made, in keeping with Leica's minimalist style. File transfer is quick, and the interface is intuitive.

Pros: Superior build quality, presence of the viewfinder, colors, total usability in manual via the three ISO aperture time rings, good performance even in macro

Cons: Small file, high iso resistance, electronic zoom, small sensor, general slowness

Opinion: Definitely a machine that needs to be understood a bit, anachronistic in some ways especially on the sensor/megapixels side (a micro4/3 of 17 mpx usable at € 1600 in 2024 is quite embarrassing). The colors are however good as well as the general paste of the image which, however, does not lend itself to prints larger than 30x40. The electronic zoom is slow and imprecise, the old contrast autofocus does what it can but it is certainly not a splinter. The Leica menus are beautiful, minus the responsiveness of the processor... It would be a 21 megapixel but at most it uses 17, it would be a Leica but in fact it is a Panasonic, it would be perfect thanks also to the maintenance of the viewfinder where most of the competitors are removing it (it is not clear why) ...... in short, a huge, colossal WOULD be if only they had understood that even a € 100 smartphone gives a bigger file. With a 1" sensor with at least 24 megapixels on board, with a zooming lens that can be unlocked and controlled manually, a modern auto focus and a processor that does not run on charcoal, you would eat any ricoh or sony on the market hands down. €1600 is so out of tune with a car that has recently come out and with these pre-pandemic characteristics.

Pros: Remarkable aesthetics, excellent construction, lightness, pocketability, DNG file management, ease of use, software very easy to understand and adjust, good portability if you have small hands. Connection to the LeicaFotos app really efficient and very convenient even to update the SW

Cons: electronic noise, slow zoom, not very responsive shooting, uninteresting film emulations, no shoulder strap, no cable and charging plug, very important cost definitely out of the market at the moment despite the quality

Opinion: Since it is the third Leicadlux that I buy in many years, it is obviously a small tool that, despite also having cameras up to medium format, accompanies me above all on my leisure trips. Lightweight and small, it looks great in the pocket of jackets and this becomes a huge advantage that makes the disadvantages of the m4/3 mentioned above disappear. It is not a new machine but it has been updated keeping practically all the features of my 2020 D-Lux7 with new Q series type aesthetics and new software. A few shots taken yesterday and today, we will see in 10 days if I confirm 9/10.
