The Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) is an advanced, large-sensor, point-and-shoot camera. Key features include:
Based on the LX100. Not to discredit Leica, but the D-Lux (Typ 109) is largely based on the Panasonic DMC-LX100 with a couple of cosmetic changes and a different JPEG engine. Otherwise, the camera is just about the same. With that said, the features below are brought over from our LX100 page.
4/3-Inch Multi-Aspect MOS Sensor. This sensor provides a maximum effective resolution of 12.8MP in the 4:3 ratio. Thanks to this larger-than-normal sensor, the LX100 offers great low-light performance with a normal ISO range of 200-25,600.
Fast-Aperture Normal-Range Zoom. The 24-75mm f/1.7-2.8 equivalent lens (post-sensor crop) covers the wide to short tele/portrait focal range with a fast, variable aperture. This allows for low-light shooting and shallow depth-of-field. The inclusion of the POWER OIS optical image stabilization system helps to minimize camera shake at slower shutter speeds.
4K UHD and Full HD Video. The D-Lux (Typ 109) offers 3,840 × 2,160 4K Ultra HD video recording at 30 or 24 fps in MP4 format. When you don’t need 4K, you can also capture Full HD 1080p video at 60 or 30 fps. There’s a built-in stereo mic for quick audio capture, but there’s no external mic input, so you’ll have to use an external recorder to capture higher-quality audio. Please note that 4K video capture requires a UHS-I Class 3 or faster memory card.
Built-In Electronic Viewfinder. The 2,764k-dot resolution integrated electronic viewfinder offers 100% coverage and encompasses the entire Adobe RGB color space, allowing extremely faithful color reproduction. The 921k 3.0-inch rear LCD can also be used for image composition and review, giving you multiple options.
Manual Controls. There are physical dials/rings for quick manual adjustment of shutter speed, aperture, focus, and exposure compensation. You also have multiple programmable buttons that can be customized to suit your needs.
Other Notable Features. The built-in Wi-Fi provides wireless control and viewing options via the free Panasonic Image App. You can get up to 11 fps burst shooting using the mechanical shutter and 40 fps in electronic shutter mode. The built-in EVF means there’s no pop-up flash, but a small removable flash is included. Images are recorded to SDHC/XC memory cards (remember, UHS-I Class 3 or faster for 4K video), and the rechargeable battery is rated for 300 shots per charge.
