Awesome micro 4/3 camera coming!

[Rawfa]

This could be an amazing travel / everyday camera!! 24-74mm f1.7-f2.8!!! Awwwsome!!

I wonder if the quoted 24-75mm is full frame equiv. or subject to the usual m4/3 x2 crop? If the latter it would make a very decent travel compact indeed.

 

[Rawfa]

I really doubt that they would release a 48-150mm fixed lens camera.

yes, you are right, it is indeed 24-75mm equiv.

 

[Matix]

yes, you are right, it is indeed 24-75mm equiv.

Sure sounds like a good travel camera... the GX7 with 12-35mm lens is a tad bulky.... when I see the specs tomorrow, if it is what I think it will be... I will pre order one... the LX7 replacement.

looks very interesting

 

[mediumcool]

Pity about the lost megapixels.

I'd take the GM-5, but then again I am still thrilled with my GM-1 and think the GX-7 is still a knockout camera. Panasonic have it down, I think.

 

[dhsimmonds]

Also a Leica version too! A replacement for the much loved Leica D2 perhaps?

Yes, the LX100 or its D-Lux sibling look to be very nice indeed. I'll have to take a look at one at the store.

The only thing I don't like about it is the way the lens extends so much when powered on. It's a tiny nitpick, but one of the nice things I really like about the new Leica X compared to my 'rediscovered' X2 is the fact that the X' lens neither extends nor collapses. It's one of the things I've disliked about most modern zoom lenses on any camera.

Sigh. There are too many nice cameras out there nowadays.

I am still using my EOS M with the 22mm f2.0 It takes good photos without the $1,000 additional cost

Hi Dave
and in the UK the D-Lux is less than £50 more than the LX100 - makes a pleasant change!

I really like this camera! Can anyone tell me if it takes DNG (Raw) files?

Thanks

HI Peter
I'm not certain - but the V-Lux uses RWL (Panasonic) files - so I imagine this will use the same RAW files. (ie not DNG)

Jono,

at preview it was mentioned that the new Dlux would support RAW (DNG). Not sure if this is right or wrong ....

HI Peter
Did it say DNG . . . or just RAW ?

From dpreview Leica D-lux review

Leica introduces D-Lux 24-75mm equiv compact with Four Thirds sensor: Digital Photography Review

It says RAW (DNG)

Hi There Peter
I'll see if I can find out :angel: (let's face it, dPreview have got it wrong before).

There were a lot of mistakes in the original LX100 specs so I would definitely believe that there could be bad info. The tech specs page from Leica just says RAW/JPEG

Yes I know. Anyway there was hope but I rather fear that means no DNG ....
