In dimly lit situations however, it does get a bit grainy and there is a bit more lag.

It’s great to use, especially during the day because lag isn’t really an issue, and it does offer a very natural and lifelike view. It’s sharp, clear, and the colors are decent. In addition to the controls, there is also a built-in 2.76m-dot electronic viewfinder with a large, 0.7x magnification. ↑ The D-Lux 7 has great tactile controls.
LEICA D LUX FULL
Of course, if you want to go full auto, you can do that as well. Bottom line is, if you’re serious about your photography, these controls are great to have. I also find it quicker in general to make crucial adjustments in this way than going through a menu system, for instance. Tactile controls like this aren’t just a rarity in a camera like this but are always great to have on any camera because they fully involve the photographer in the photographic process. There’s also an aperture ring on the lens. The dials offer a nice firm feel as you rotate them to your chosen setting. Dials for the shutter speed, and EV compensation are on the top plate.

They fully work, serve specific functions, and in my opinion, the tactile controls are one of the main features that help distinguish the D-Lux 7 from the rest of its competitors. They aren’t just there to make the D-Lux 7 look “retro”. These controls aren’t just for show either. I had a D-Lux Typ 109, and one feature I loved was the tactile controls, which I’m glad to say, are also on the new Leica D-Lux 7. I know some may want black because it is more “discreet” but the camera itself is already so compact that it really doesn’t draw that much attention when you’re out street shooting, for instance. So far, it only comes in this one color but as some of you know, Leica has been known to make special editions of many of their cameras, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see other colors in the future. It’s a beautiful one as well the chrome is a really a nice touch if you ask me, and I just love the clean lines. It has the red dot like many other Leica cameras but you definitely don’t need it to know it’s a Leica Leica DNA is written all over it. After opening the box to the new D-Lux 7, I was greeted with a very solid and well-made camera. The price for this new model is $1,195, which is definitely not cheap but it also isn’t nearly as expensive as Leica’s flagship cameras. I still get that feeling, and it’s something I definitely felt when I first received the new Leica D-Lux 7. It could be a big ticket item like a camera or some small accessory like one of those cool magnifiers for the M. I have to admit I’m kind of like a kid in a candy store when a new Leica product arrives at my doorstep. Speaking of, the new Leica D-Lux 7 has definitely been improved but at the same time, I’m glad to see a lot of the features that were just about perfect, have remained in this new version. So, when a new D-Lux is released, such as, the new D-Lux 7, I’m always up to giving it a go, and seeing what has been improved. That D-Lux 3 played a crucial part because it was the camera that eased me into the digital world. It’s funny because now I love digital :). I was happily shooting with my Leica M6 and Mamiya 6 MF (man, I still wish I had that camera). I was a diehard film shooter that just didn’t want to switch to digital. My digital photography started off with a D-Lux 3.
LEICA D LUX SERIES
Plus, the D-Lux series does mean a lot to me. I know there are many who consider the D-Lux series of cameras just re-badged versions of their Panasonic cousins, and while there is some truth to that, there are some differences.
