Pros: excellent quality of the photos despite the small sensor, 24mm aperture of 1.7, compactness, comfortable focal range, excellent black and white, optical stabilization

Cons: ridiculous price, crazy flare, hold nothing regarding dust on the sensor

Opinion: Really comfortable machine when traveling, it is super compact and has a quality of files not indifferent, in my opinion much higher than micro 4/3 of the same period. It has several filters to apply in the room, which reflect my tastes and therefore I use and therefore I do not find useless as some people who turn up their noses in front of these options but then do not publish half a photo online if before it has not passed through lightroom. therefore from the artistic point of view and quality it is very capable. As for the cons, unfortunately the lenses seem to have no treatment, since the flare in certain conditions is exaggerated and also of the ugly ones. Then this machine is definitely OVERPRICED, the price on the used market is nothing short of ridiculous for such a product, fragile and with the sensor that you find it covered with dust without the possibility of cleaning it without sending it to assistance by paying. I found it at 300 euros, but honestly I miss this price is worth it. It has an absolutely non-premium feeling, and after finding myself with dust after missing 60 days of use, I really regretted spending money on it. Final judgment: if you want to try it take the Panasonic counterpart, that they throw it next to you and has nothing less than leica marked qzesta

Pros: Sharp, bright lens. Manual use just fantastic. Quick commands and menus in use. Perfect wreaths.

Cons: Nothing, it's not touch but I prefer it like this, even better.

Opinion: Absolutely a car to have with you all the time. It is a handyman both as a portrait, as well as a landscape day and night. At the ISO level shots at 3200 in the evening without problems and 6400 you are at the limit but cmq great for the web and monitors but also in small 40x30 prints. All recoverable in PP. In jpeg at 12000 ISO still holds at 6400 is great, then if you convert them to BW you can also use it at 12800 ISO. Cmq I do not go but the over ISO 200, but in the churches I go to 3200 and I take home great shots. On the barrel there is everything you need, from AF/MF to the 1:1 aspect pad until 16:9 and above all diaphragmmi diaphragm, a must have from pro lens. The dial of time completes this fabulous machine and if we turn there is also that of compensation. Behind it we have the block AF/AE, ISO, EVF and wifi. Practically you don't need to enter the menu in fact I never do because I have everything you need. I often mold 70x50 but I pushed myself to 140x100 with excellent definition, practically perfect even from 20cm. Maybe only NEO if it had been touch for focus would have completed its extraordinary performance, but I do not make a drama because I always shoot in MF and manual.

Pros: Solid,Bright Target,Time and Diaphragsms,4K Movies,Stabilizer,Minimum Fire Distance of 3 cm

Cons: Fixed display not tiltable and lack of touch screen

Opinion: I just purchased a Leica DLux Typ109 used in excellent condition with 1 year warranty. I feel very good has a very bright optics a good AF and a very good viewfinder. Shooting in RAW and the workability of the files is really good. It weighs 400 grams. in the hand by a feeling of solidity and it is also beautiful. It's a Micro 4/3 and clearly you can't compare it to an FF but the results are very good. Times , diaphragms,compensation set directly from the dial,also has a selector for the shooting format you can choose between 3:2,16:9,1:1;4:3. Movies in 4K. Stabilizer.Understandable menus. Flash supplied and on mine there was also the cap with automatic opening . To be perfect, she lacks the tiltable display and touch screen

Pros: Image sharpness, lens brightness, blurry, control and viewfinder arrangement, aperture ring, black and white mode, high ISO output

Cons: It's not pocketable, flare

Opinion: I've been using it for a while, maybe I still haven't squeezed it to the limit, but it was really a revelation. I state that I have not yet had dust problems, the camera is a joy to use, especially using the viewfinder. Every command and key and function is in the right place. Only the aperture ring deserves an honorable mention. Set fire fast. I would have only liked a manual zoom instead of motorized, but I think to contain the dimensions was indispensable. Good battery life. The raw files have great detail, which is noted compared to the JPEG, however excellent. I had tried the lx100 time before, and I have to say that the jpegs here are sensibly better really well balanced, good colors and white balance, and great black and white mode. There is a dedicated shutter mode, and three filters Monocromatici.io prefer the shooting mode, in which you can adjust brightness contrast and colored filter type (you can do with the raw PP, but also shooting in JPEG from viewfinder you have a great preview and Files that are very usable maybe to send on smartphones via Wi-Fi. In the filter mode BW, even they adjustable less finely, the image is more effective but qualitatively loses a minimum. It does not have the built-in ND filter, but at least it has very high shutter speeds that allow to use wide openings even in luminous scenes (thanks to the electronic shutter). Shots in backlight very very difficult to achieve, the lens flare for me is exaggerated (you want because accustomed to the Canon 17-40). For everything else the lens is something extraordinary in terms of image quality, it returns sharp images to be Also embarrass some fixed lens for reflex. The sensor holds up well the high ISO, where it is able to generate a film effect to make the files Exploabilissimi. Even by shooting in a church at 1600 ISO the file is gorgeous. 3200 and 6400 are kinda the limit, but exposing well are exploitable them too. In black and white the fine grain becomes a plus (whether it's JPEG shots or raw). Its image quality does not regret that of the 6d on many occasions. The only flaw is the portability, it is small but not pocketable, and so many times you might as well bring the 6d with it. It certainly makes sense when you have to travel light, just type with a backpack or cabin baggage to save weight and clutter. It is in the pocket of a winter jacket, but not in that of jeans, it seems made specifically to be used with half houses to use on the shoulder. Too bad. As a tilt-and-focus touch display would make it the top for street photography, maybe Combined with a mechanical zoom ring. Update: After a trip to Santorini I can confirm that it is a full camera at 360 degrees. You do it all with little weight and remarkable quality, not only that, JPEG's are formidable. Personally I have also modified the presets of landscape mode, setting NR A-5, contrast + 1, saturation + 1. The files are formidable. I hardly regret the 6d.

Pros: clear lens, manual luminosa.Utilizzo simply fabulous. Commands and intelligible and fast menu nell'utilizzo.Qualità excellent Leica in every way.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Purchased today at the Leica Store in Turin, to whom I renew my congratulations for the location (you get the impression of being much immersed in a photo exhibition) and excellent availability and customer service staff. The camera has impressed me for his focal 24/75 mm. I feel extremely bright and sharp, with unfocused and truly exciting bokeh. Surely it is a camera that excels in quality and that surely will not fail to bring in my bag. I also did a little test in manual and I must say I was amazed by the results.
