 High Reputation |
| Review Date: March 9, 2010 |
| Reviewer: Gene Barnes, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA |
| Not much of a review here -- more like a report. I bought this for a foreigner who was visiting and noticed the great price from Amazon. He said it was much more expensive in his country, but the camera had a great reputation and was a highly desired item in Lower Slabovia. From the few photos he took while testing it out here, we could see it was performing far above the average digital point-and-shoot. But beyond that, I can't say much. |
SLICK CAMERA

| Leica D-Lux 4 is a sweet spot camera with all the style and technical prowess one would expect from Leica optics. Tight, compact and technically superior to run-of-mill cameras. What a deal for me. |
Great camera

| This camera delivers a crisp true picture. Maybe a little expensive but you certainly get your moneys worth with this product. Well made, easy to carry. Good family camera. |
Fantastic camera

I wanted to upgrade my digital camera (a Casio point and shoot I got as a gift). After agonizing about which DSLR to buy (Canon 7D, Nikon 300S?) and lenses for those, I just went for this camera. (I'll still get a DSLR). This is one AMAZING camera right out of the box. It is easy to use, and very easy to ALWAYS have with you. Now I realize that I am taking shots that I would never get with the bigger cameras for a couple reasons. One, I just wouldn't have them with me. Two, holding a larger camera would be impossible in situations like street photography, shots in restaurants, even at home when a larger camera makes everyone sit up and think "photo in progress." It's totally unobtrusive, and looks like a dinky little point and shoot. Surprise, surprise. It is capable of taking beautiful images in several formats, sizes, low light, macro, etc.
A question people might have is "Why the Leica"? Well, because it's a Leica, and I have read in several places that the software (specifically the color and B & W menu options) is customized. I am very glad I bought this particular camera. Also, when I bought it (check the Leica web site) the warranty was extended for three years.
Finally, the bottom line. If you search the web, or search Flickr for the Leica D LUX 4 group photos you can see what this camera is capable of doing. That's what the gear is all about anyway- a tool to make photographs. |
My compromise
|
| Review Date: January 7, 2010 |
| Reviewer: R. Hogan, |
| I once read a review which the comment was stated: "every camera is a compromise". No truer words. I currently have a Nikon D200 and was looking to having a feature-laden small camera easy to take on trips. This camera gave me exactly what I was looking for. The images and features are exceptional. The only complaint I have is as a result of my own new-found preference - I really miss having that view finder up to my eye. I wish now that I had gotten a Nikon D90 which would be only a little larger and would have fit in with all my Nikon gear. Again, I can't take away anything from this camera. It's a gem which I'll keep. As a suggestion, for youself, do a little more thinking than I did as to your own personal needs. |
