In 2003, Leica, as a German manufacturer, introduced the first D-Lux camera. Eight generations and countless special editions later, Leica brings a typical Leica experience in a compact and accessible form with the new D-Lux 8.
The iconic design of the legendary Leica brand, recognized worldwide as a market leader in the premium camera segment, ensures better ease of use. The controls have been simplified and ergonomically moved, while the user interface is inspired by the popular full-frame Leica Q cameras, has become even more user-friendly.
The Leica D-Lux 8 is equipped with a 4/3" CMOS sensor with 21 megapixels (effective 17 MP), a bright Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9-34 f/1.7-2.8 ASPH zoom lens (equal to a 24-75mm in full-frame format), an intuitive design and seamless connectivity with the Leica FOTOS app via Wi-Fi.
This Leica D-Lux is the first to offer the option of photographing in the Adobe DNG format. The compact flash is included.
A new range of relevant accessories includes a handle, carrying straps, wrist straps and leather protectors that will be available in multiple colours. Additional accessories such as an automatic lens cap, soft release buttons and a selection of bags, including a belt bag and sling bag, offer additional options.
