Leica D-LUX 7 High Grade Multi-Coated & Threaded 3 Piece Lens Filter Kit

Product Information

The sensor on the D-Lux is about a 4/3 sensor. It’s big enough so that it creates beautiful images and it is small enough so that the camera is still a pretty compact size. One might conclude that this would immediately deliver a markedly better image quality than the average compact with a physically smaller imaging chip and you might be right, save for the fact that said sensor is, in this model, out of necessity married to a relatively modest – in terms of size – Leica manufactured lens. Thus results are, to our eyes, neither as sharp as an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera with the same sensor, nor an APS-C DSLR you could alternatively get for the price.

This new model offers a larger Four Thirds sensor that provides a much higher image quality than its predecessor. While the D-Lux’s easy to use automatic modes, manual settings, and video capability are familiar elements from the last model, a new integrated electronic viewfinder with 2.8 MP resolution, Wi-Fi module, and upgraded video quality are sure to set this camera apart from its competitors. These new features combined with a classically elegant design make the new D- Lux a versatile tool to capture impressive images and video.

The camera also boasts an improved video function of 4k high definition video, a resolution four times higher than full HD.While 2.8 million dot resolution imbues the tiny EVF with an almost life-like clarity in daylight, in lower light levels visibility suffers due to its pokey-ness, and ultimately the 0.2-inch EVF proves no match for the greater visibility provided by the larger 3-inch screen situated beneath it.

The D-Lux7 is an awesome camera, how does it fare for the specifics of shooting landscapes? Let’s find out.As long as you can avoid the effects of camera shake if shooting hand held, low light performance is however impressive for a camera of this size, with softening of detail to limit the appearance of image noise only really visible in the very top two ISO settings (ISO 12500 and 25000 equivalent).

On dull wintry days with featureless skies the camera tends to underexpose but this is nothing out of the ordinary. On the whole we were satisfied with the results rather than being blown away by them.

The Leica D-Lux 7 is the first camera in the D-Lux line that can be used together with the Leica FOTOS App which enables remote control of the camera from a smartphone and fast and easy wireless transfer of pictures from iOS or Android devices. Photographers can use numerous options for sharing their pictures directly on social media after editing and carrying out all the essential post-production work in app. Leica D-LUX 7 is, by all means, a great point and shoot camera.
