Review: Leica D-Lux 4

 

If you're serious about your pictures but wary of lugging around your SLR, you've had an embarrassment of riches in the last couple years, thanks...

HD video. Awesomely vivid and accurate colors. Gorgeous leather accessories optional. Long warranty. Three aspect ratios (4:3, 3:2, and 16:9). A pop-up flash that’s manually deployed: No more unintended bursts. Solid battery life

A gussied up Lumix at double the price. Fiddly controls in manual mode. Viewscreen less sharp than resolution suggests

Leica's D-LUX 4 looks very stylish and it takes clear and natural-looking photos. It has good speed, plenty of manual settings, and its scene modes are very useful. However, you do have to forego a sizable chunk of your income to procure it.
