Hi There, Thanks for the video. Just letting you know that i have owned the D-Lux Type 109 for five years and then upgraded to the D-Lux 7 again for five years and yes i will upgrade to the D-Lux 8 I use my D-Lux 7 for hiking and city/weekend breaks as well as annual holidays. I own a few cameras (Digital and Film) however the compact camera is the one that i use the most. I use a Think Tank Mirrorless Mover 5 to keep my D-Lux 7 protected and use the optional grip which is expensive but worth it. I am sure that you will love yours too...best wishes and love to you and yours ❤
Just ordered one from B & H based on your Sterling review! Thanks for the timely and honest videos
Good morning Leigh. Thanks so much for this video. It was the perfect information and inspiration to get me to pre-order this camera. I have never used a Leica. I'm so looking forward to it. Your enthusiasm for the Leica experience and the joy of using their cameras moved me to check them out. I'll report back how it goes for me.
Buying a DLUX 8 because of you!!! Thank you!!!!
For everyday try, I carry and shoot the Q3, but I've always thought a D-Lux would be a capable addition. Just might get one. Thanks for another valuable video.
Thank you for a very good review yet again, Leigh!
This looks like the camera Ive been waiting for!!! Ive been really wanting a small, light, every day carry camera.
Buy the Pana LX100II and you have it 😉
@@Powerland56 nah you’re just specubating
@@greysuit17 nope he’s correct.
@@aviatorman8 no he’s not really. Specs dont equate to using it. I don’t like Panasonic and would not enjoy it. The Leica I would enjoy.
Superb video…I have a D-Lux 8 on order and this the best concise video I have seen!
Enjoyed your video and connected with your views. Over the years I have used the LX series of Lumix cameras, finishing with the LX100 which I finally wore out. My fun photography is travel and the LX100 was an incredibly powerful tool and I have even had images published which were taken on it when it was all I had to hand. I have a collection of 'serious' cameras but found that the LX100 is, to me, the best camera I have ever owned and used. Of course a large part of its secret was the Leica lens. The camera is not longer made so I was delighted to see that Leica have decided to update and 'Leicaise' the camera with the controls and menu system close to my Leica Q3, which is a great camera but not nearly as easy to use as would be a DLux8. My camera store is contacting me soon, I hope, to advise that my DLux8 is ready for me to collect.
Looks great! Wonder how many months/years before Leica can fulfill the customer waiting list.
thank you for the great review! people keep saying Lumix has a same sensor and lens but I wonder whether the color science (or I should just say the color of the jpeg / DNG to jepg) would be the same as well. I know the retouch could do the work but hey at least I am not capable of doing it and I won’t try to do it when I just bring a compact camera with a small sensor to a scene to capture some of the moments.
Had the D-Lux 7, sold it for the GR3x. After reviewing the images taken with the D-Lux 7 and remembering its versatility for street, I just ordered the D-Lux 8 for travel and EDC. It won’t replace my Sony A7Cr or A7Rv, but those are for projects, and usually stay home for EDC. The GR3x? Hmm, let’s see if I’ll miss it.
I have one on order because I am so glad that the menu system on this camera is almost the same the the menu system on my Leica SL3. This one I will just carry around with me for those times that I don’t want to get the SL3 out………..small, compact, and WELL Made
Love it, want it
thank you for a great review. Have preordered one.
Thank you excellent review. You told me everything I need to know!
It looks like the D-lux 8 is a D-lux 7 with a better control layout. I've had a D-lux 7 since it came out and it is one of my two everyday carry cameras. The camera I use the most, however for an EDC is the now discontinued C-Lux. It is even more compact than the D-Lux 7 and can fit in almost any jacket or coat pocket. Where I live, the extra reach of the C-Lux (25-360 equiv.) is so important, especially when taking the ferries to the islands. 75mm equiv. is great for portraits of people, but not when taking photos of birds, orcas, porpoises or lighthouses in the distance, though I guess technically the lens of the D-lux 7 & 8 is better. The colors of the D-lux 7 are a bit better than the C-Lux. But the only alternative to the C-lux is a (relative) "monster" SL2 or SL3 with a "huge" 400, or longer lens. A word of caution: the auto lens cap for the D-Lux 7 & 8 allows dust to get on the front lens element. I use a filter and regular lens cap attached to the strap loop on the camera. I also recommend the leather flash case that attaches to the strap, to always have the flash nearby. (I usually only use the fash for a fill light in daylight.)
Awesome photos. When I saw the specs for this camera, I was interested immediately. I love the monochrome mode. I'm thinking about it.
Nice video. I am wondering whether to get this camera. I indulge in landscape photography through fairly easy day hikes and tend to use a Q2 attached to my rucksack shoulder strap with a PD capture clip. I’d have to trade the Q2 in to get the D-Lux 8 Do you think the D-Lux 8 would be used in many situations that you currently use your Q2? I’d probably switch to my M11 for high quality landscape work.
Thanks for the excellent review. Was hoping to get ibis and 10 bit video. Someday I'm sure ❤
@@alifnor and more MP!
Thank you, a great review, from Leigh, & Ramond, Photography, this Leica D-LUX 8 looks like a fantastic compact camera, my only concerns with these cameras, is the lenses tend to suck in all the dirt & dust, much more frequently then other cameras.
The M10 with small lens is my everyday camera and just love using it, but can see where the 8 could fit in for it's smaller size... Thanks
I absolutely loved the first gen Lumix LX100. There really isn't anything quite like the LX100 / D-Lux package. The lens and sensor combo are now a bit older, but they are still a great match. Good enough for digital media and most prints. Regarding value... considering it's a Leica, and is almost 2x the cost of an older used LX100 II. But the Leica is new, and with quality of life updates makes this the dream LX100. Even against a top tier option like the Fujifilm X100VI, the Leica will still have advantages in its focal range and will still have a higher resolution of image at full zoom compared to the Fuji's crop of its 40mp sensor.
Image quality is going to be less and less of a concern in the coming years thanks to the advent of neural nets / AI post-processing. Your images from this camera will last a lifetime and then some. It's more about finding a tool that you connect with.
I'm personally fine lugging an APS-C ILC body around with me along with a diminutive F2 lens or an assortment of lenses up to a heavy telephoto manual lens. I prefer the grip and flexibility of such a setup. However, for others, especially those who might just want a single camera solution, or who have large full-frame or medium format kits, the LX100 could be ideal for travel and as an EDC.
I have the 1st Gen LX-100. Leica should have put a bit more into this camera, IMO the AF system & better sensor (not necessarily bigger). The lens is great and the MP is fine . But like you said the small improvements and new menu system makes this camera the best of the 24-75 FAST 1.7-2.8 P&S made. Unless you go fixed lens no zoom camera has this type of lens for it's size.
Is the zoom lens sharp at 70 and how do you feel about only 17 megapixels?
As you said, this seems to be a very versatile if not superlative bit of kit. How was the battery life in your experience?
I like that if could service as either a bridge for those wanting to step away from just using a smart phone, or for someone who might already be in the Leica ecosystem looking for a simpler everyday carry option. Formerly I used a Sony RX100 V but haven't had that for nearly five years, but looking to find a something similar again - maybe Sony has na new RX1R coming out?!
I've always liked having a compact camera for the times that I don't want to carry larger equipment and multiple lenses. The D-Lux 8 looks like an intriguing camera for anyone that want to have a Leica without the cost of the higher end models. It would be the only Leica that I would consider getting. But for now, I'll stick with Canon G series cameras. I am currently using a G5X Mark II.
While I have a decent phone for taking pictures (iPhone 15), I still enjoy PS cameras. I have a Panasonic ZS-7 (25-300mm FF equiv) which made it a great travel camera and EDC. While not a PS, I recently got an Olympus PEN E-PL3 which is not much larger and use TTArtisan 18mm pancake lens. Both make taking pictures fun.
Not much upgrade to the 7 though. I wished for a tillable screen, just like the Q3 :) would make it way more versatile as small always with me
I think this will be one the best selling camera for Leica :) thank you for the info one last question how was the AF on this camera?
They improved the things that needed to be improved. Viewfinder, screen, usb c, memory card, menues and buttons. And left the sensor and lens as they were. I think its and excelent option. I have had the dlux 109 and the dlux 7, and I plan to buy this one
I agree - those changes make a big difference for me :)
I enjoyed your video because I very recently visited a Leica dealer in Washington, DC, (the only camera store with walking distance of my Capitol Hill hotel) to buy a CFexpress card, and it was like walking into a Mercedes dealership. I was extremely impressed by the cameras and lenses. Unfortunately, they were all out of my price range, as are most Mercedes cars.
If it connects with my phone could I use it to line up low angle shots like a tilt screen ??
I just order the D-Lux 8 from my local Leica store.I alreay have the D-Lux7 but the interface is hard to understand. With the new camera it is just like the Leica Q interface now I don't have
to call the Leica store for setting my camera over the phone again! Leigh I like your BW files. I will start doing the same just Like I did in High school over 55 years ago in Graphic Art class.
Great video. Am quite tempted.But am struggling to see how this is a better option than my CL, which can use M, R and TL lenses, has more megapixe;s and is about the same size. The CL is the most underrated camera in history.
I still have my LX100ii and I still enjoy it. Is there a difference between the image and optical quality between the D-Lux 8 and the LX100ii?
Yes I will be purchasing my ever first Leica camera, D Lux 8
I have the Leica SL2-S and M8 bought used and the Q3 brand New but at a higher than MSRP because the newer models like the D-Lux 8 and SL3 are either preorder or backordered. My local camera store is excellent and I got the Nikon Z6III on the first Day Shipping. Love the camera. Problem with Leica which I love their products are they are a little too slow to ship. I could of bought an SL3 for $8000 and up from a dealer in Hong Kong but I think it is way overpriced in my opinion. I do have the Z8 & Z9 which do 8K but they are bigger than the Q3. I run all my cameras on a dummy battery and only use the camera battery if the power bank is drained. The portability of the D-Lux 8, Q3, Fuji X100VI, OM Systems TG-7 etc. and size plus the simplicity of use are great for a do all everything. The bigger cameras are for other options. ZV-1M2, RX100 VA, Q3 are the ones I grab most of the time and one of them are always with me. I have been watching your Nikon 1 V1 videos and have the V3 & J5 on dummy batteries plus 4 camera batteries for each. All of the lenses, Chargers, Batteries, Accessories plus the J5 & V3 fit in a LowePro BP 130 and weigh 10lbs. My favorite lens is the 6.7-13mm (18-35) Full Frame. I also use the 70-300mm (189-810) Full Frame. I love them all. Photos and Videos and it is a great time now to be in the camera world today because of innovation, options and there are really no bad cameras. Just the waiting in the mail for them. My Q3 Think Tank Speed Changer V3 with everything only weighs 4lbs. When just having the camera and dummy battery in my pocket is much easier. Just have enough sd storage capacity and You are set. Cheers!
Thanks. I can't help but wonder what the difference is between the V-Lux 7 and the V-Lux 8.
I wonder if that flash will work on m4/3 bodies??
I got the D-Lux 7 a few years ago and it has become my go-to travel camera. I can tuck it into my smallest camera bags and still have room to spare for other things like wallet, passport, keys, sunglasses, etc. It takes great photos and works great for landscape, architecture, and street shots. With the pared-down button layout on this iteration, I'm curious how easy the on-screen controls are to adjust, like focus and drive modes. And is the focus point selection on the touchscreen responsive? Sometimes on my D-Lux 7, it takes multiple tries to get it to register that I'm trying to move the focus point. My only other wish from this line is that it was just a little bit wider at the wide end. 24mm-equivalent is pretty good, but I think I'd readily sacrifice some length at the long end if it meant they could make the wide end go out to about 20mm-equivalent.
The touchscreen is very responsive. I used it a lot!
My favorite compact camera is the Canon PowerShot G9 X Mk II. I bought it many years ago when I needed a camera that would fit in my pocket. I have nothing against Leicas (I have a digital and film M), but I don't see myself wanting the D-LUX.
Plastic or metal housing? I have heard both ?
Great review by the way-
Nice job! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great review, would you say this is a good replacement of the Q3 or how does it compare?
I own the Q2 in addition to this camera. Which one is better would completely depend on the photographer.
Does the colour science is Panasonic or Leica?
Can I use my Godox m4/3 flashgun with this camera.
Hola, Leigh. I have been a fan of Panasonic cameras since the LX3. My last Panasonic from this model series was the LX100, which I still have but cannot use. The issue is dust on the sensor. I was wondering if you can say anything about the potential of the lens sucking in dust into the sensor with this Leica version of the camera. Have you heard of this issue, and do you think the Leica D Lux8 will eventually succumb to the same fate as my LX100?
Very interested in this camera thanks for the information
Thanks for watching!
You totally sold that unit. I was thinking it was just $1500 worth of bling. Loved the shots but was surprised at the video. A good one to take into sensitive environments and document in super high quality.
I don’t mean to “sell” anything but I can’t help but share my excitement when I find something that really speaks to me. Thanks for watching! :)
I understand that the menus and controls are unique, and maybe the color science, but I feel like my Panasonic LX100 II is so close that I have no desire to upgrade. It’s not a bargain-basement alternative, though. Even the LX100 II still demands up to $900 on the used market. More testament to what great cameras the LXs and D-Luxes are.
Well presented! This camera is a carbon copy of the Lumix LX100 II under a different name. Thank you for a great presentation as I always enjoy your videos! Keep it going!
The de Lux Is a great little cameras I have had a type 109 for many years at 12 megapixel it still delivers beautiful quality pictures my only problem with the camera is the dirt on the sensor that you get regularly with the In-N-Out motion of a zoom lens. It is nearly impossible to clean on your own and requires you to send the camera in for servicing this can get expensive I don’t live in a dusty environment but this camera will pick up dirt quite easily something to consider as the average cleaning here in Canada will run you about $150. If you like it and of course the Panasonic equivalent could address this issue it would be a great Camera
Nice work
Much better than my Panasonic LX100M2.
Nicely done!
Love your videos. But not sure about this one. Vs the previous DLUX? Same sensor. Same lens. Is the scaled down Q bod what does it? Otherwise you would have considered the previous camera (unless the processor is from the Q).
I prefer the Lumix gf3 for my edc. AND it was only $170 renewed and newish.
Still on the fence...can you explain the difference between a traditional 4/3 senso and a micro 4/3 sensor? Photos are wonderful and this looks like a winner but I'm not sold just yet.
@@NikonDave same sensor size I thought. Think the ‘micro’ bit is due to the Olympus / Panasonic lens mount…
@@CrispyJacketStudios Thanks. That's what I was thinking.
For those who complain that it’s basically an improved Lux7, the question is: so what? Does it make this camera worse? Looks for me a valuable option for an everywhere camera.
Currently using a x100V for my compact and I am tempted so bad to sell it while the value is high and get the D-Lux 8....
Do it while you can
What sharp, quality size prints can be made with 17mp ?
How do you charge the battery in the Leica D-lux 8? I haven't been able to find any charger for it other than one that charges the battery while it is in the camera.
If the camera takes the same battery as the D-Lux 7, you could use the discontinued but still available Nitecore Leica BP-DC15-E Charger. It is available at the website of Leica Camera San Francisco. This Nitecore charger shows a lot of details about the charging on its screen.
This model is also called a Nitecore UL 109.
@@charlesflynn4850 Thank you very much.
Would this mean that there is another LX 100 iteration on the way? :P
I'm still plugging along with the Sony a6000. Compact? Sort of. Small? Yup. I like it.
“I like it.” That says it all.

My Q3 is my daily driver. This is a great camera but it would cause relationship issues between the Q3 and me. Sadly, I won’t get a D Lux…………yet.
The original Panasonic LX100 had a big problem: dust sucked through the lens and landing on the sensor, rendering the camera all but useless.
The Leica DLux8 has the very same lens.
Have they corrected the issue?
I have ordered one as a small camera to take on motorcycle trips away. I pack light.
It's nice that leica has recognised that people want a holiday from their big cameras, but still continue to take pictures.
Is this a micro 4/3 camera ?
Nice but not for me. I love my Q2 and if I need smaller I have my RX100 V1 and 15 P/Max. Nice video and images and thanks for sharing.
Compact go everywhere? Sure. A full frame A7CR with the 24 f2.8 G.
😊
Hi Leigh, I’m torn between the Sony RX100 VII and this D-LUX 8, what are your thoughts on their differences?
On the one hand, I think the Sony would probably make the best, slip-in-pocket always available camera (more so than the Leica) and thus probably best travel/hiking camera esp. with its 24-200 lens.
But if I wanted seriously high quality images for a wedding (as a guest) or street photography, then the Leica is the one I’d take.
May be I need both?
It's a tough choice because they are both great cameras. If you want the range, the Sony is the way to go. However, I like using the Leica better. In case you haven't seen it, you can check out my video on the RX100 VII here: th-cam.com/video/AVOJO2YtkNI/w-d-xo.html
@@LeighAndRaymondI’ve decided for the Fuji X100 VI instead of the D-Lux 8, because the Leica is basically an f/3.4-5.6 FF equivalent lens which means sacrificing shallow depth of field.
Looking at most people’s images, everything’s in focus unless you’re up close to your subject, whereas the Fuji allows pretty decent background blur.
Additionally, the Fuji’s 40MP APS-C sensor can take 70mm FF equivalent shots by cropping in post and still give a 17MP image, which is the same as the Leica. So all I’d be giving up is the Leica’s wide end, but that’s okay.
I have the d-lux 8 on preorder to partner my Q3. The almost identical button layout/ menu system will make switching between the two a piece of cake. And yes, I don’t expect the image quality to match the 28mm Sumilux / 60MP Backside Illuminated full frame sensor of the Q3.
That’s exactly why I’m seriously considering one of these to replace my RX100VII. Having near identical operation to my Q2 would be huge.
Serious question: why would you want a Q3 partner? I had the same idea but then thought I can just as well take the Q3 with me if I can take this one
Same question. I have a Q3 and a Fuji X100VI. The Q3 is my everyday camera that I always pick up first if I think I'm going somewhere that will be good for street. . The Fuji is smaller and the one that I take everywhere I go if I don't have the Q3. It would be nice not to switch menus, ect..., though.
@@kelleyb80 I’m envious of your owning a Fuji X100VI. I preordered the morning of the 1st day. I waited three months and canceled the order. I will not wait a year again for deliver or pay a premium for that camera.

Did the D-Lux 8 come with that auto-opening flower-petal lens cap?
No.
No. And the price for this small accessory is absurdly high. At this price of the camera, this lens cap should be standard.
the 1/2000 max shutter speed and $1.5 price tag are why i won't be getting this. But this is headed in the right direction. Where's the lumix version and can it please hit at least 1/4000, plz
It's the menu. Leica has by far the most intuitive and "serene" menu UX of any manufacturer out there.
Agreed!
Haseelblad and Leica TL series better maybe
Hey Leica, can you make a silver body of D Lux 8 soon ("In Jedi magic way to tell you") and send me one and I will take it for street photography in Malaysia and show it on m channel!
I want to take you along as a camera person
Makes me wish Nikon continued their 1" camera system.
I bought the D-Lux 7, and the shutter speed dial goes to 1/4000th. The D-Lux 8 only shows 1/2000th, yet the content providers on TH-cam are claiming the D-Lux 8 shutter tops out at 1/4000th. Who has the right answer? And why might Leica make this downgrade change?
Looks like a mini Q
The Leica D-Lux 8 _"retains all of the Leica DNA, like the natural color science ..."_ Are you saying it has the *Leica Looks?* Can you confirm this? Thanks.
Sensor and lens of the Panasonic LX100II with a sexy dress, new design, better software. And expensive.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice looking compact camera. Who doesn’t dream of the Leica red dot on their cameras? But not for the price tag it has for what if offers
Not really sure why you would get this when the Ricoh GRIII and Fuji X100 series exist, other than the big red dot on the front. Both of those have larger sensors and the Ricoh at least has a smaller body.
Multi Aspect sensor keeping angle of view, and a zoom lens, which makes this more flexible than the GR III and X100. The GR III may be smaller but this one has an EVF and is still smaller than the X100.
I've found that larger sensors are not really the catch-all internet people want to make you think. I got a Nikon Z6 recently, and while I admit it does have image quality advantages versus my M43 gear, the difference only creeps in in ISO ranges 6400 and up. Below that you'd be hardpressed to see any difference. And in fact, the razor-thin DOF full frame gives you I've found actually more detrimental than useful. When I want to shoot a cat's face, for instance, I want to have eyes, nose and whiskers in focus, and even at 50mm F4, that is challenging on full frame.
so a re-released Panasonic LX100II?
No, there are similarities though. :)
No. Completely different user interface. Completely different user experience.
DL8 is very tempting, but one cannot have all of them…
When I evaluate these reviews I always consider the quality of the shots. Not much to write home about here…
If the camera had been made by Sony or others, the price would have been $500, imagine.
Sure looks like my Panasonic Lumix LX100 II
At least the lx100 ii has more buttons. Also love mine 👍
😬
The Leica D-Lux 8 is made by Panasonic. Leica and Panasonic have a long-standing partnership in which they collaborate on the design and manufacturing of certain camera models.
The Cadillac Escalade uses the chassis from a Chevy Suburban. Is the Escalade not a Caddy?
Just a rebadged Panasonic LX100 ii introduces in 2018. Same sensor, same controls, etc. And at a MUCH lower cost.
Hate to be a Debbie downer but you could have been doing this the past 6 years. This is just a rebadged Panasonic LX100 II from 2018 with a few minor upgrades. What iPhone is that at 5:46? Ive never seen video that bad from an iPhone. What settings are you on? Obviously not using the BM app either.
It's a rebadged LX100ii with minor updates.
So what? Does this make it less valuable?
We need a LX100 III for those (read: most people) who cannot afford this Leica. Moreover, it’s too minor of an update. It should at least have a new 26MP new micro four third sensor.
$1500 and no MIC jack is heartbreaking
I like the camera but had the d-lux 7 but kept the Panasonic lx100ii and sent the Leica d-lux 7 back. You can go Leica ga ga but really same sensor, same lens, less price.
The Lx100ii discounted so if you like this camera its the only option. I decided to replace my Pansonic lx100ii with the gx9 with 15mm Leica 1.7. The truth be the Leica is a good camera but overpriced and the lens is long in the tooth. Not enough upgrades in this model for the price living on past glory
Leica outsource d lux line to Panasonic. A new equivalent of lumix with 2/3 price will be coming🎉
