The Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) is nominally the successor to the 2-year-old D-Lux 6 camera, but it includes so many technological advances that it's virtually unrecognisable from its predecessor.
Oh, and of course it also sports the famous red Leica dot on the front, which could possibly make the resale value higher than the Panasonic LX100 (possibly). Leica have removed the handgrip on the front and given it a more rounded appearance, and the D-Lux ships with a copy of Lightroom and has a longer warranty. Somewhat surprisingly released at the same time as its doppleganger, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100, the new Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) is essentially the same camera with a couple of differences. The Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) is available now in black for £825 / $1195, including a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 and a 3-year warranty.
The Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) features 4K video recording at 25/24fps including the ability to extract high-resolution 8 megapixel images from the 4K video, a 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 Leica lens, high-speed AF in approximately 0.14 seconds, built-in Live View Finder (LVF) with 2764K-dot equivalent high resolution, a 3.0-inch LCD screen with 921k-dot resolution, an ISO range of 100-25600, high speed burst shooting at 11fps with the mechanical shutter and 40fps with the electronic shutter, aperture and control rings, and integrated Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity. The Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) is a premium compact camera which incorporates a large Micro Four Thirds sensor.
