LF1
That’s based on the LF1, not the LX7 – There already is an LX7 clone.
Looking Good! Will wait and see if someone makes a handgrip before I buy.
I really don’t understand why Leica continually want to do this, they already have the Leica branded lens on the LF1, why do they want to rebadge the body as well, it does nothing but dilute the Leica brand.
Oh, Audi! That famous camera maker!
At least, it’s better looking than the Hasselblad sony 🙂
But will it blend?
It is slightly different top plate to LF1. It would be nicer to have straight line top plate instead and dials recessed into plate so they don’t protrude out like so.
horch, horch! 😉
Wow!
I must have completely missed the introduction of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 (which really is the Leica C’s equivalent, not the LX7, as several people already pointed out). It actually is the first, and the Leica C now only the second compact travel zoom that both reaches out to not less than 200 mm (eq.) and has a built-in viewfinder at the same time.
This is the first compact I actually might be buying since the Olympus C-70Z, which is what I’m still using if I don’t take the system camera.
(And as much as I like the Leica’s design, I’d of course prefer the Panasonic for, well, pragmatic reasons. 😉
There’s also the P7800 with a better viewfinder, same range but faster lens, variangle LCD – and a much bigger body.
Yes, especially the rotatable/tiltable display is a real advantage. Unfortunately, being bigger isn’t 😉
Why don’t they just sell rebadge of GX7, probably even with permanently soldered M mount adapter.
I really think that Leeica strategy is a suicide. This company has no capability to innovate and just living on the heritage of their wonderful cameras and lenses from the past. But it win t be enough to compete. Also, the pricing is just outrageous.
OK mirrorlessrumors.com dude whoever you are, you are making so many mistakes it is ridiculous.
Great, another over-priced tiny sensor camera. Sigh.
