Why do we post Leica C threads in this sub-forum?

 

Surely such a fine camera is worthy of inclusion in the 'D-Lux, Digilux, V-lux sub-forum' ?

It is a great camera. I enjoy using it with the M9. Perfect for everyday use, close focus and great zoom.

I agree entirely.

Ditto! Have just been playing about with my wife's new Leica C and am very impressed by the quality of the images from such a tiny 'shirt-pocket' device.

I picked up one for my wife this Christmas. The C is a great camera. Be nice to have a place of it's own. Maybe posting a ton of photos might motivate the forum

I concur with the above remarks. The quality of the files from the Leica C is astonishingly good, you can shoot in raw and the zoom goes to 200mm. I had my Leica C with me at Photokina last week and found a member of the Leica staff speaking rather condescendingly about it. The man was otherwise very helpful and friendly, but I cannot imagine why an employee does not stand behind all the products of his firm.

I get that same feeling on this forum - it takes a great deal of effort and persistence to figure out that this is the thread where you can post messages about the Leica C, furthermore all the previous remarks about allocating Leica C users a better place have so far been ignored. I use two M9's, but it is the little Leica C that I find myself using a lot these days for all the reasons mentioned above.

I agree that it does seem to be the Cinderella of the Leica line of cameras, Apart from the major advantage of being so small that it can be carried in a shirt pocket and tends to be the camera that can be carried on normal social occasions it is surprisingly competent both for stills and video. I do not do much video but I have found it possible to make stable clips with quite reasonable sound at events like grand-children's parties. The HDMI socket allows immediate playback through a TV set.

Maybe Admin could consider adding the 'C' to the D-Lux section next time the categories are revised/updated?

It is a continuing disappointment that the 'C' and its capabilities are so hidden away in the forum - it really does deserve a more representative placing. On Tuesday I hijacked my wife's camera during a days visit to a National Trust property and the results confirmed for me the power of this little gem.

I agree the new C is a peach of a camera. I exchanged my D-Lux 5 for it. I now prefer it to my Olympus DSLR. It fits nicely in the pocket and is easy to control, especially with that front control ring. The EVF is as good as the external one I had on the D-Lux.

I have not been disappointed by the image quality even at 800 ISO.

My previous Leica C post was steered into the D Lux section and so far nobody has complained
