A Few Questions ... 1) Does the D-Lux 8 use a leaf shutter like the Q series? and 2) What is the # of stills rating for battery life? and 3) is the DNG really only 12 bit and 4) what is the e-shutter readout time.
Yes to the D-Lux 8 having a leaf shutter like the Q series and also the DNG is 12 bit. The e-shutter readout time is fast, with minimum rolling shutter distortion but actual values are not available. Battery life is about 300 shots, depending on how much you are using the zoom, lcd screen, etc., which all affect battery life.
