This is my 11th Compact digital Camera, I expected that match with my Leica M8’s image, but the result is so disappointing.Leica claims that D-lux 3 has own firmware and I can tell heir efforts, but logically 1:1.65” censor is too small to handle big picture; it has very narrow dynamic range and it’s impossible to shoot full auto (that same as M8). I had to set up to adjust the entire manual setting each shoot before. It’s too expensive. I do not have any problem with lens and body construction. The problem is censor and un-usable raw shoot (it’s super too slow) I do not recommend to anyone, unless you are buying just red dot. I did extensive comparison test for a week, then I returned it.
They said something else about
Leica D-lux 3 in the news!
Problems
- censor is too small to handle 10M
- very narrow dynamic range
- it's hard to controll
- too expensive
