Leica D-lux 5,
I am not sure that this camera is the same as the Panasonic. If I am not mistaken there are differences other than the cosmetic and visual, The “computer” is not the same I am told. Anyway it is an absolutely superb camera and a perfect joy to use. It is expensive and I took a very big breath before buying, but now I am so glad I did. If you do decide to purchase then I would be very very surprised if you were disappointed

|This is NOT a lumix,
Firstly let’s get this straight. THIS IS NOT A LUMIX.
The lens is the same and the sensor is the same. The body is very similar although different. The software is streets ahead, and the firmware is different. Most importan tly the FEEL is different (you are a creative photographer right?, That is why you are reading a review for a Leica). If you want to take a few pics of the kids on the beech , and maybe a christmas party. Then the Lumix is for you. It is an excellent camera with great results, and half the price.
But you are reading a review about a Leica. I therefore assume that “Getting it right” is important to you. That extra “Feel” is what you look for. Well,the results are nothing short of stunning. Very sharp, excellent colours. The techy specs are available elsewhere. But Iwill just say that this is a 10 meg camera, ‘though you would think it were double. at A4 print and up close on a 40″ HDTV. the results are indistinguishable from my EOS 5D MkII (£1500) and EF70-200 f2.8 ISUSM (£2500) lens. Put like that it it very cheap indeed, THIS ROCKS. and it fits in you pocket so it is always there.
You want cheaper then the lumix will deliver 95% of the results, which will be more that enough for most people. You want the best … That is why you pay for a Leica. If you want the extra 5% , then the extra cost is worth every penny.

|The best compact camera but overpriced!,
This camera is the best thing since sliced bread if you want a great quality camera without the bulk of DSLR, I would give it 5 stars but because Leica completely rip you off on the price I have to knock a star off. The Panasonic LX5 is exactly the same camera made in the same factory by the same people, but it lacks the red dot and is so half the price of the Leica haha
Leica has branding power and they like to laugh at their consumers for this.
