Why is the dlux 5 more money than the 6, which one is a better camera price aside?
1853584
The '6' has a maximum aperture of f1.4 vs f2.0 for the '5'. To me, this is a huge advantage. Much greater control over Bokeh. I have an M9 and a Digilux 3. I use the 6 the most.

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!***

Still wondering why the D-lux 5 costs more now (more than $1k here at Amazion) than when it first came out ($799)? Or was this just a mistake???

If I remember the specs of both cameras, I got the D6 because it has a wider lens, 24mm. Aside from that I cannot speak to the pricing.

I never purchased the DLUX 5 to test it out to see how it compared to the DLUX 6. I wanted a compact camera with a telescopic lens that I could take anywhere in my pocket, and it was the best camera for the price. I did purchase other Leica cameras for signifigantly more money and found that price was driven up by the demand, as compared to when they first came out and they didn't have the picture quality of the DLUX 6. I just love it. I think you will to. (see photos I've taken)

The 5D Mark III is a better upgrade in my opinion. I was never happy with my 1Ds. I love my 5D Mark III.

The only difference between the two devices is the 32GB built-in memory. While that might sound like a nice feature, 32GB for $200 extra is ridiculously expensive. Also, 32GB is not that much if you are recording @ full quality.

D-Lux 6 is a CMOS sensor. CCD is much more lifelike, and more treasured among Leica crowd.

I am also comparing the two and cannot make a decision. Help, please. I am not that interested in video, but most concerned with qulaity of photo (true colors & sharpness) and the use in low light (indoor). I have concerns about the flash and what I have read is not too promising. Is one of these cameras better than the other in low light situation....without the use of 'flash'?

I think it is definitely worth it: you will have 18 megapixels in contrast to 12, a better range of high ISO settings with less noise, and my perhaps favorite thing: a swivel screen which enables you to see what you are shooting when the camera is held down low or above your head...without sitting on the ground or climbing on something. I love my t5i!

There are a number of differences, including: 1. The handle on the 6 is built in, while in the 5 it flips up.2. The 6 has a cover around the base; the 5 does not.3. The food tray is bigger and rounder on the 6.4. The 6 has a bigger juice bowl and pulp bin.5. The auger on the 6 is 8 times stronger than the 5's.6. The on switch on the 5 is on the top of the juicer while the 6 has it on the back.7. The 6 has a 15 year warranty. The 5 only 10 years.8. The 5 is about $40 cheaper than the 6.

I had the same problem as you. I chose the A620 yesterday and purchased it off of Amazon yesterday as well. I was reading reviews and the differences between the two and they are truly miniscule (A700 has a .5" larger NON SWIVEL screen, only uses 2 batteries, and is slightly smaller), which does not at all justify the $40 price difference (according to Amazon pricing, of course :P). According to cnet and dpreview, the picture quality difference between the two is neglible and I perfer the swivel screen included in the A620. Also 6x vs 4x zoom really doesn't matter; if you want a decent picture, you wouldn't zoom too much anyways. Had the price been the same, I *may* have chosen the A700, but if I can save $40 dollars for having a slightly larger camera than uses 4 batteries, I'd choose saving the $40. All that matters to me is picture quality and they are both equal in terms of that.

A5+ has more power but both are very similar. A5 is great for the price difference.

I have already a Lumix ( not this one ) and I found it to be an excellent camera. I use it for food photography and have owned it for quite a few years. Being a Leica fan I bought the D-Lux 6 and I am very happy with it. I believe the quality is similar but I find the Leica a little more versatile with both manual and automatic capabilities. For the serious photographer it is the right choice. I say that without knowledge to LX100 but with the experience of my own Lumix.

More of a comment than an answer. I'm looking as well, but it will be awhile. So far, I see very little difference because I shoot mostly full manual mode (throw back to my days before auto anything). That said, I like the WiFi and GPS in the 6D and hope it's still available when I'm ready to buy. I travel a lot, and having the extra info embedded it awesome!

Since I never owned the 6 or 4 I can't answer that one. Suggest you compare the units and choose one, personal preference.

The G6, hands down. I compared the cameras head to head and the NEX-6 had better stills but the G6 had significantly better video.

The 5th generation has a better display when compared to the specs of the 4th - I find the 4th to have a great display though. The 5th generation has a faster processor (A5 chip-this is not as fast as the most current A6 processor) and RAM (512mb) whereas the 4th generation has a slower chip/processor (A4) and 256mb of RAM. The size is a difference as well as the 5th generation has a 4 inch display making it slightly larger (longer) than the 4th generation. The cameras on the 5th generation are 5 megapixel (rear) and 1.7 megapixel (front facing) while the 4th generation cameras are &lt;1 megapixel (rear) and VGA (front facing). Hope that cleared things up a bit for you! And I hope I got all the differences right :D

Not everyone is interested in trying to use their point and shoot camera as a camcorder, and 2.5 vs 2.8 gimme a break. And I don't know if you've been paying attention to the economy but not everyone has the luxury of paying 600-700 dollars on a camera. Less capable eh? I guess that's one of the reason alot people who own rebels and some of the other slr's use s5 is and g9 as a backup. The camera is only as good as its user.

Well i never owned a 5.5 generation but alot of my friends has them after using both i would say sound quality has improved cosiderably for ver. 6 also the user interface has improved and now includes coverflow album art. you also get alot more storage for the old 5.5 price...........overall for the PRICE this is definiely a good buy.
