Is this the SAME with Leica d-lux 4? Can anyone tell me what difference is?

From what I've read, this is basically the same hardware as the d-lux 4. Differences: different coating on the lens (same lens) different firmware a longer warranty (either 2 or 3 years for Leica - different reviews give different figures - vs 1 year for the LX3). the red Leica logo! Also I've seen it suggested that there are some external bits of rubber trim on the LX3 which are not present on the Leica. I think you also get Capture One software with the Leica, which is a high-end RAW processing package.

this website says it does (scroll down to where it says "viewfinder"): http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/leica-d-lux-6/leica-d-lux-6DAT.HTM

PEN pros are interchangeable lenses, HD video capure, now available, sane price; PEN cons: smaller sensor... others?X1 pros are aperture and shutter-speed dials, Leica optics, larger sensor; X1 cons are high price point, and it's not yet available.Also, I don't care for a lens that retracts on shutoff, because it: * is a dust trap, * prevents use of lens filters and hoods (shades against flare), * delays startup time, and * needlessly consumes battery power. That said, I still favor the X1. I greatly enjoy the D-LUX 3 and 4, after having had many LUMIX models.Available light performance should be great. I will tell you if I'm happy later.What about the Lumix DMC-GF1?

As jealous as I am about your Leica....I don't think so...probably not.as it is a Nikon Product enabling you to use the Nikon TTL with off camera flash.. - I use it on a brackett for event shoots but use pocket wizards for off camera flash triggers loosing Nikon lighting smarts) I use it with a Nikon D4....My guess is your going to need to use pocket wizards and learn how to use your flash manually- there are lots of YouTube videos and tutorials on Pintrest.

For years I wanted to buy the original AT-X1166 PRO-DX until the "DX II" came out. I have this for use with my D90/D7000 and it's fantastic. I believe the difference is the new version has Tokina's version of AF-S for high-speed quiet autofocus whereas the original did not.

I do not remember. We did not keep this binocular - ordered 4 brands for a side-by-side comparison. Ended up keeping the Leica's.

Its work good with my Leica D-lux 6. Highly recommended! The auto-lens cap is a bit loose and should be more tight. 4.5 Stars

My understanding is that it will not work on a Leica. I have a friend who tried it and it didn't work. The Leica firmware is not compatible.

This camera is made in Japan by Panasonic. It is branded Leica but basically a Panasonic DMC LX7K. All specs are the same, the body is almost a clone. The major difference is the superior finish and material feel of the Leica, the Leica name, and the software suite which is more extensive. I bought the Leica because I wanted the Leica name and software but bought the optional Panasonic branded electronic rangefinder eye piece. Save over $100 from the exact same piece with the Leica name on it. Ether way, whether you go whole hog for the Leica or save money with the Panasonic, its a terrific camera with an exquisite lens.

good question--i own both of them and i've got to say the d-lux6 is the better camera. no idea why the 5 is more. after two full years of heavy use, my 5 started getting pretty buggy on me--i have not had any issues like that with the 6 (nor did i have them with the 4 that i used heavily for two years before the 5). ***i did just read that leica has discontinued the 6, to allegedly be replaced by a d-lux7 later in the fall. just FYI!***

I think a better question would be how does the RX100M2 compare to the Panasonic LF1 upon which the Leica C is based. I do know the lens is not as fast and image back is smaller, so the RX100M2 should be better in low light for sure. The C has a built-in EVF, but not very high res. The pricey external viewfinder for the Sony has 10 times the resolution.

I have both. Very little difference. Both are excellent for a point and shoot!

You are very right. It is not good for Leica brand...Either Leica doesn't care about its customers or there must be something wrong with its development/manufacturing...

I have a D-LUX 4, it went dead. All attempts (at least 3) to contact Leica USA for service have not been returned. Admittedly, these have been via email (not phone) The D-LUX worked well, but did not wear well - screws fell off, the plastic case got easily dented. I would not put it above some of the high end small offerings from Canon and Nikon. In fact, the other way around - the canons have metal cases and everthiung but the lens is superior.

My familiarity is with a Leica D-Lux-5. Sorry, but I have no knowledge about a V-Lux-1. Suggest you contact Leica.com and pose your question to them.

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.
