Leica Camera AG presents the Leica D-Lux 8, a new compact camera that aligns perfectly with the brand’s philosophy of good design. The camera offers exceptional user comfort, not only in terms of its design but also in its operation. The intuitive controls, user interface, and optimized button layout, along with its ergonomically arranged controls, ensure a user-friendly experience.
The Leica D-Lux 8 offers all the essential functions for photography and video. Its manual and fully automatic modes give photographers the freedom to choose between quick snapshots and thoughtful compositions. The high-resolution touchscreen and new 2.4-megapixel OLED viewfinder with Live View function help frame the perfect shot. The camera delivers impressive results even in challenging lighting conditions thanks to a powerful 4/3″ CMOS sensor with 21 MP (17 MP effective), a fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9-34 f/1.7-2.8 4 ASPH. zoom lens (35mm equivalent of 24-75mm) and an attachable flash.
The new Leica D-Lux 8 offers photography in both DNG and JPEG formats. The optical zoom and 4K video capability make the Leica D-Lux 8 a versatile, all-purpose camera, whilst its compact and lightweight size makes it ideal for taking anywhere.
As a true all-rounder, the compact Leica D-Lux 8 seamlessly connects to the Leica FOTOS app, and images can be downloaded, edited, and shared directly to a smartphone.
The app also supports DNG files, video downloads, and remote camera operation, including optical zoom. Camera firmware updates can also be managed directly within the Leica FOTOS app.
The sophisticated design of the Leica D-Lux 8 is complimented by matching accessories. These include leather halfcases in the colors black, cognac, and olive. Matching carrying and wrist straps in the color combinations black, cognac/petrol, and olive/burgundy, as well as an equipment bag and hip bag in black, completing the range of textile accessories. Technical accessories such as the auto lens cap and the new handgrip provide even more comfort when taking pictures and the screw-on soft-release buttons in the colors black, brass, and silver give the compact camera a unique touch.
