Leica D-Lux 8 Reviews
A Photographic Companion
By Chuck
Rated 5 out of 5

This camera makes you want to take more pictures. Plain and simple. It's a "point and shoot" with enough easy to use sophistication that doesn't bog you down with complicated menus and a host of custom buttons. I shoot a lot of still auto and motorcycle photography in crowded areas and often don't have the luxury of time or room to get the perfect shot with my full frame kit. This camera, with most of the exposure adjustments outside of the camera, seems to take great shots without needing to page through an owners manual to understand where everything is hidden. And it feels great in my hands. This is the second Leica/Panasonic model I've owned and the first (C typ112) seemed a bit two small although it's been all over Europe with me. The D Lux 8 has a proper EVF, a simple back button choice, and appears robust enough to serve as a proper travel camera. I'm really going to enjoy using it!
Excellent compact camera
