I cannot wait to get my hands on this camera!
I've been in the market for a "truly pocketable" camera that's not a cell phone for along time, and none of the ones released in the last 3-4 years appealed to me. The D-Lux 7, Sony RX1R II, and Sony RX100 VIII were my finalists until Leica announced this one. Did more research, and I hard-landed on getting this. I'm definitely excited for this one!

😂😂😂😂😂😂 that Lie Ca is piece of shit. Microft.🤦‍♂️.. so out.

[@chrisbower5854]

Did you take any videos ? Does it have ibis which is essential for videos?

[@donald5378]

wandering focus point was also an issue with the CL; too easy to accidentally change - it needs a lock.

[@antonisdavis2288]

can you share raw files?

[@ulfjonsson2122]

Nice video, but how prone to dust sucking is it compared to LX 100 II?

[@RyanKemperinOhio]

That’s my question too!

[@estrasnecalle7808]

nice lx100 II with leica case at double price

[@sharifsalem]

Nope, that was the D-Lux 7.

[@mrjoerizk]

This one is triple the price :)

[@janihonkala8154]

Dont laugh😂😂😂 Leica guys start crying becase that😂😂

[@alexbenstead5922]

Anyone seen an lx100ii on the second hand market recently?

[@quairnt]

“These monks” I think one may have been a bishop xD

[@umberto8383]

La qualità delle foto è molto bassa, sembrano scattate con lo smartphone 😅

[@RobA_Oz]

I often wonder why people feel the need to post unhelpful negative comments, usually based on nothing but prejudice. What’s missing from all of them is how the photographer feels about using the camera. Some are well-specified but clinical and uninviting. Others are fine in some situations but not others. This looks to me like a useful lightweight travel camera, and even though it’s based on the Panasonic LX100, Leica has moved it in its own direction, both ergonomically and in terms of developed image. And Panasonic aren’t selling the LX100 anymore. Comparisons with phone cameras and full-frame ILCs just miss the point, and so do those who use them to snipe.

[@evolvetoeternity5691]

There is a thing called aperture,which you might have forgotten,hece shooting everything wide open 😅

[@roa5359]

17mp in 2024?!

[@JayJayNay]

Find your way of presenting entertaining. Thank you. I’ll pass on this camera though. I think 😮.

[@showcards]

even on video we can see quality of photo, it is garbage :((, smartphones can get better results... and lumix s9 just destroying this overpriced leica... micro 4/3 is dead

[@phamha8184]

I'm using Xiaomi 14 ultra and must confess that at many situation, the phone beats the M43 compact camera. But camera gets better at Portrait due to the sensor size and aperture lens.
