Advertisement Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Hi andybarton, Take a look here D-Lux 5 Titanium. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Guytou Posted October 18, 2011 Share #2 Posted October 18, 2011 All that is quite beautiful, but Leica would make better propose the new firmware of D-Lux 5 to us. The new firmware of Panasonic LX 5 has been at disposal for already a month… Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macjim Posted October 19, 2011 Share #3 Posted October 19, 2011 It's a bit much to pay just for a 'paint finish' and a leather case which doesn't prove the camera image/menu set up. Cheers, Macjim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted October 19, 2011 Share #4 Posted October 19, 2011 It's simply marketing - a cosmetic tittivation to give a hockey stick boost to flagging sales prior to the release of a new model. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZDavid Posted October 19, 2011 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2011 I would seriously prefer a ruggedized weatherproof version with a lenshood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted October 19, 2011 Share #7 Posted October 19, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) There doesn't appear to be a titanium EVF; I think it will look odd with the current black one. Santa won't need to bother bringing me a Titanium D-Lux 5 this Christmas. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shade Posted November 3, 2011 Share #10 Posted November 3, 2011 Yeah it sure looks nice.. But imho just another marketing gimmick and yes a sign of the product nearing its end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macjim Posted November 5, 2011 Share #12 Posted November 5, 2011 Couldn't help laughing at the article in amateur photographer which said Leica had confirmed the D-Lux 5 titanium model didn't contain ‘titanium!’ no surprise there but surely they didn't think Leica would have made a camera out of titanium just for a short run, eh?

macjim Posted November 6, 2011 Share #15 Posted November 6, 2011 Farnz: I'm referring to the D-Lux 5 in my comments. Yes, I know the M9 titanium is made from 'titanium' as I would love to have one. It's the best looking M9 of all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
