The new Leica D Lux 7 has just landed!
I am curious to test it... Curious and impatient.
It is a superb object, can take macros, which is important for the watch nut in me, and for the rest, I have to discover it. What I know is that there was a big difference between the D Lux 4 and the D Lux 6, and I wonder if there will be the same difference with the " 7 ".
Exciting news!
Best,
Nicolas

The D-Lux is a very capable camera...
I had a Typ 109 but recently sold it because I only shoot film these days and have a couple of Leica Ms for that purpose. But the D-Lux is a great little camera and the new one looks to have several useful improvements.
FWIW, I compared the Typ 109 I owned to the equivalent Lumix...
And felt the Red Dot tax was worth it. The Leica felt better built, and the additional year of warranty and Lightroom license more than made up for the price difference IMO. In addition, when it came time to sell the Leica I lost very little money, which ...
List price of the D-Lux7 vs. Fuji x100f in the local (Japan) market...
the D-Lux7 price point has a 50% premium or approximately USD 525 more than the x100f (before discounts). Just saying... Casey
as fate would have it...
I will be at the Leica Boutique in Ginza (Tokyo) later this morning, to do a little business and then have lunch with a friend from overseas... I will be interested to hear their (Leica's) take on the D-Lux7 Casey
I was considering this camera to accompany my Monochrom as I don’t have a color camera..
I think it’s a nice travel camera that allows you to shoot manual with an exposure compensation dial readily available. What I want to see is how it renders wide open at 1.7. What’s not to like with a 17MP point and shoot that can go wide at roughly 24mm?...
Will wait for your shots and review on this
new toy Not in a hurry for me since I have the LX7 and X100F.......LoL
If you have the D-Lux6 there is "no reason to upgrade to the D-Lux7"
at least according to the staff at the Leica Boutique. As promised I stopped by and talked to the sales guys. It seems the D-Lux7 is the same physical package as the D-Lux6 with three "improvements": video, touch screen, and a bump in MP. Bottom line, if ...
Re: If you have the D-Lux6 there is "no reason to upgrade to the D-Lux7"
Bottom line, if you have the "6" you might want to [ skip the D-Lux7 and ] stay tuned for a future upgrade [ i.e. the next version after the D-Lux7 ] , this from a " sales guy " ; ) Casey
