Review: Leica V-Lux 20

 

Sure, you like to travel and take photos, but with so many destinations how do you keep track of where you've been and what you've...

Ships with copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8. Sports a snazzy all-black design. Lux brown calfskin case available as an accessory

Took up to a minute to initially find GPS signal. Records 720p HD video in Motion JPEG format that produces larger file sizes. Slightly bigger body than Panasonic ZS7

There are some differences: among them a slightly different handgrip and some other cosmetic detail plus movie capture in Motion JPEG instead of AVCHD at the top res. However, in other respects the Leica snapper should work pretty much as the...

Powerful 12x optical zoom ; Useful built-in GPS tagging ; Full manual controls

Expensive

Thanks to its massive focal range, this is a truly versatile compact camera

Leica V-LUX 20

 

Leica's link with Panasonic for its digital cameras is a good one simply because if you're going to start with someone else's kit as a start point Panasonic's cameras and their reputation for them is very good. After all, one of our favourite digital...

Great image quality, good detail at lower ISOs, all-metal stylish design, AF system, lens

Noise at sensitivity is noticeable, price, no optical viewfinder, underpowered flash, blotchy shadows, detail smoothed away at high ISOs, no RAW capture

We cannot help but feel the Leica V-Lux 20 is very overpriced no matter how you look at it. It’s certainly less brash in terms of styling and while the all-metal build and features are good, they are no better than the Lumix and certainly so in terms...

The V-Lux 20 is a good compact for photographers who want to try out a Leica camera. It is also one of the most affordable offerings from the acclaimed German brand.

Good image quality ; Accurate colour reproduction ; Manual exposure control ; Quick performance ; Multi-aspect ratio sensor ; Ships with Photoshop Elements 8

Expensive compared with the TZ10 ; No AVCHD video compression
