The new Leica D Lux 7 has just landed!

 
 By: amanico : November 28th, 2018-09:34
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...  

one time my skill will require such cameras

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 ... 

$1195 [nt]

List price of the D-Lux7 vs. Fuji x100f in the local (Japan) market...

 
 By: cshimokita : November 28th, 2018-14:33
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

Even the macros? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : November 29th, 2018-09:46

Yes, it has macro mode. [nt]

I mean for watches? ;) [nt]

I was considering this camera to accompany my Monochrom as I don’t have a color camera..

 
 By: Echi : November 28th, 2018-19:32
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?... 

Yes, I will! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 2nd, 2018-23:15

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"

 
 By: cshimokita : November 28th, 2018-22:54
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 ...

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

You might want to see this unboxing video of the D-lux 7.
