Continuing its commitment to compact digital cameras, Leica will release the new D-Lux 8 in July.
The German camera brand introduced the first D-Lux in 2003 and eight generations and numerous special editions later, the D-Lux has solidified its position in the top-quality segment of Leica’s digital compact cameras. The new D-Lux 8 brings the quintessential Leica experience into a more compact and accessible form.
For enhanced user comfort, the controls have been simplified and ergonomically repositioned, while the user interface, inspired by the popular Leica Q-Cameras, has become even more user-friendly. The D-Lux 8 features a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor 21MP (17MP effective), the fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9–34 f/1.7–2.8 ASPH. lens (35mm camera equivalent to 24-75mm), intuitive design and seamless connectivity with the Leica FOTOS app.
The Leica D-Lux 8 also represents the first D-Lux to feature the versatile DNG format, while a flash, included with the camera, further expands the versatility of the new model.
In addition to the camera, a new range of accessories will be introduced. These include a hand grip, carrying straps, wrist straps, and leather protectors available in multiple colours. Additional accessories such as an automatic lens cap, soft release buttons, and a selection of bags, including a hip bag, crossbody bag, and equipment bag, expand the camera’s portfolio.
