Leica launched a grey version of the D-LUX camera. The camera is basically the Leica version of the Panasonic LX100.

How much extra for the red dot?
It’s a terrific little camera, better than a PEN with any kit lens. Although there is a mild edge and corner compromise, it is almost like buying either of the PRO zooms (12-35 or 12-40) and getting a free camera in the deal. I sometimes wish they had found another dial arrangement and a few more millimeters in height, to trade the hot shoe for a built-in flash, but I would concede that I do not use fill-flash in but 1 of 1000 shots. Wide apertures and deep ISO’s save the need. Oddly, the bright outdoor shot is the one that benefits from fill more often than not.
I will just take the power of my E-PL6. …get better images and save tons of money!
The grey and silver is cute..but I think this would look killer with a black lens…but stupid expensive to make a fashion statement.
As an “only” camera I would agree that a PEN provides more options. But if you are looking for a second camera, solely for convenience, and you already have, say, an OM-D to mount several lenses on (better in my opinion than a PEN with a fiddly viewfinder) or you never mount anything but a 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, the LX100 wins because the two-stop advantage on the lens (f1.8-2.8) provides better opportunities for 4x shutter speeds and blurred backgrounds. The only way to match on the PEN is to also shell out for a PRO zoom. The other nifty advantage, the dimensions of the LX100 are more tidy, which, unless I missed something, was one of the original selling points on the PEN (you must count the dimensions of the lens options). For snapshot days, the LX100 is pretty tough to beat, even on the OM-D. The trick there is to mount either the 17mm f1.8 or 20mm f1.7 and do without zoom—overkill for snapshots. It would be rash, however, to so limit the LX100. There is a lot more it can do in that 24-75mm equivalent range that the PEN cannot touch. Some will complain that 13mpx is WAY less than 16mpx, but truth be known, you will never know until you print quite large. The theatre 4K is huge, but also and only, an 8.3 megapixel imaging system. How big are you printing? Something to ask every camera owner.
this would be my ideal camera if it had a tilt/swivel lcd. i’d even give up the viewfinder for that. personally i find an articulating lcd more useful.
How far Leica has fallen.
Since when?
Nice, but still not as nice, in my opinion, as the silver LX100.
Good point..at a much lower price that semi-matt silver with the black grip is smart looking! The Grey D-Lux is $1100!!!! LOL!
You DO get a Leica Leather Strap…that is worth $500!!!!! c:-)
Interesting stuff but no specs provided how to justify the camera ?
16 MP camera ? 1″ sensor ?
It’s not a new camera, just new color/finish. The specs are the same.
I just want this lens. Pls put on a mount and sell it (even w smaller image circle)
oh my god!!!
Ok it is a 4/3 type camera.
