Leica Digilux 3 Review By DigitalCameraReview

You may be thinking that you’ve seen this camera before. Don’t worry, you’re not going crazy. The Leica Digilux 3 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 digital cameras were jointly developed by Leica and Panasonic, so the feature sets of the cameras are very similar.

DigitalCameraReview review Leica D-LUX 3 and write that”Overall I am very impressed with this camera. The image quality is excellent and the camera works well. As far as lenses go this is by far the best in class (kit lenses) I also liked the ergonomics/styling of the camera for the most part. I like the retro controls, so much more fun than pushing buttons and navigating menus. So much more Leica, gives it a somewhat mechanical feel which I love. However I will also admit that it was a bit heavy/bulky requiring two hands to operate and even then could be tiring to use for prolonged periods but probably partly because of this, it’s built like a tank! This is the SLR for Leica fans or for anyone wanting top of the line equipment the only place this camera falls short is battery life (somewhat) lens choices (just the kit thus far) and price. And to be picky the noise could be improved. However if I had to choose between this and a Canon or Nikon I would strive to get the Leica.
