[TriKyTriXx]

Good review. Thank you.

[dbauernf]

Fuji X100!

[MSMWmusic]

great review, thanks for posting :)



[BBnose]

the package comes with lightroom 3? sounds good!

[CRANKYONE100]

Do you think the image quality would be much better than a Nikon S9100?

[MastrBlastr318]

through the cam your dest looks EXACTLY like mine...weird eh?

[MrPlaystationboy]

so its a panny lx5 with a leica red dot?

[nana10lv]

hi i know it's a bit random but what would you suggest to buy:

d lux 5 or v lux 30? n why in short

thx

[MrChelove]

@nana10lv I purchased the D-lux 5 over the V-lux 30 because of the following:

1. RAW format

2. f2.0 Aperture

3. Lightroom 3

[BryanMumble]

DIGITalRev ......... leica d lux 5 is a lumix lx5

[TemplarReturns]

Ok, im getting one. My main question, does this camera have the ability to compare images dslrs?

[scotman100s]

steve do you think that the Leica d-lux 5 will produce better image Qaulity than the Olympus xz-1.

[MarcusCookiez]

LOL reminds me of digitalrevtv

[stevehuff1969]

@MarcusCookiez I use Imovie just as Digital Rev does. These are built in royalty free tunes :)

[ichirootaniguchi]

@stevehuff1969 digitalrev uses final cut....

[videonevin]

@ichirootaniguchi they got popular with their videos back when they were on imovie, I'm sure they've moved on by now though to final cut like you say.

[mohajer22]

Is this in the same league as the Leica X1.

[s044121]

Is it me or does the entry sounds familiar?

[epitusjj]

@s044121 It got me confused too. Its like Steve went to Hong Kong instead of Kai since he's went to London

[curtismichael14]

@s044121 its royalty free music that you get when you purchase any apple computer,the music is located in imovie

[smarcosgarcia]

Why the D-LUX 5 at the review doesn't have that silver ring around the second section of the lens you may see in other D-LUX 5??

[sirtechy]

I called Leica USA. The DLUX only has 2 year warranty...

[sirtechy]

Does the firmware of the DLUX improve image quality comapred to the LX5 is the question nobody has answered anywhere online that I can see. I would like to see side by side JPEG & RAW comparisons of the 2 camera brothers...

[flappospammo]

i can't see much difference over the 4 tbh

[sirtechy]

The $300 price Ive concluded is worth the extra money. I'll be stepping up to the Leica big pro sensor. I will be shooting in RAW and the software included will help enhance RAW photos. Also the Leica firmware seems cleaner than the LX5. Since I consider myself a photog the extra money is worth the long term investment use of this camera. If a was just an amateur snapper I would have went for the cheaper LX5...

[mgxp]

I don't understand why anyone would buy this. Why not get the LX5, it has the same features but is cheaper and it looks better. The LX5 has a nice grip on the front too which makes it easier to hold.

[sirtechy]

does Carl Zeiss have their clone as a competitor?

[saphira512]

everyone buys leica cause it's LEICA

[YouSoldMe]

does it come with a better lens than a lx5?

[GYPSYGUSDA]

I give The canon S95 5 star

The Leica Lux 5. 4star

Canon nicer low lite pics less noise

Than the Leica Lux 5.

[sidewaysforlife]

nice i have the dlux 4, good to see the progress.

[JJtheJaxartosaurus]

hey, just wondering. How easy are these compact "dslr" type cameras to use in full manual mode? I guess I prefer manual, and I noticed there was only turny knob thingy, so it seems a little inconvenient for full manual. But, it looks like it takes great pictures.

[ByBleeker]

whey you fixed the sound :)
