A new fast lens, full 24mm wide angle, a hot-shoe & a range of accessories – just some of the features that justify this camera's claim to be the "Son of M8".
At full f2 aperture, the Leica D-LUX 4 lens brings more creative possibilities with low light & depth of field into the sphere of compact photography. Equivalent to 24 to 60 mm in 35 mm format, the lens even provides an f2.8 aperture at full zoom. The lens design consists of eight elements, of which four are aspherical. These are matched individually to the camera sensor, working in harmony with the electronics & software to produce stunningly brilliant pictures in true to life colours. The 1/1.63" sensor offering 10.1 megapixel resolution is unusually large for this class of camera. This sensor size enables the camera to retain the full 24 mm wide angle.
At 24 mm wide angle (35 mm format equivalent) the Leica D-LUX 4 photographer is able to shoot wider travel & reportage photography, which is currently in vogue.
Leica Camera AG has developed its own unique colour matching, contrast & picture definition profile which produces digital picture characteristics complimentary to Leica M film photography. Data recording can be in Fine, Standard, RAW or combinations. The Leica D-LUX 4 is also prepared for photos in HDTV format with an HDMI port for TV connection.
