I own an M10, Sony A7RIV and use them with at least 2 sets of lenses, lately I find these camera heavy for my aging body, I am looking at the new DLux, any thoughts on how good this camera for one who is used to good IQ?

 

my first post again in they forum after 3 years absence 🙂

I was back from El Camino de Santiago (long walk) recently. I am probably similar age as you. The main gear I have is APS-C with two lenses, a normal zoom and and a super wide zoom. But next time, I would carry AF-FF, and increasing riding bus more instead of all walk. I am not sure yet whether I should have 24-90mm or 24-105mm.

But for travel, my wife would use her DLUX 8. 

The diffrerence is obvious the dynamic range and adjustability in post processing.

Great small compact carry camera. FYI.. if you're incline to carry a small flash other than the supplied one from Leica, the Godox IT30 "O"Pro "TTL" (Olympus version)                         https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1895978-REG/godox_it30pro_o_black_it30pro_o_ttl_mini.html

will communicate perfectly with the DLUX 8 for TTL flash.

Just for fun, change the JPG settings to Medium for a 105mm zoom or small JPG for 150mm zoom. The files are very small but usable in a situation where you're feet won't get you there to capture the image. With proper lighting and reasonable settings in daylight of F8@125th second will produce pretty nice images. Good luck!
