Price aside, the ability to shoot wide to medium telephoto makes this type of compact a much more useful alround EDC option imo. The increased resolution (on paper) of fixed lens alternatives like x100’s & GR’s is largely redundant in real world usage, being as mid tier spec cameras have been able to produce decent size prints for twenty years or more.
I completely agree. I shoot with a 100MP Hasselblad, but I’ve ordered one. I can’t wait!
The last Fuji X100 I had was a T which I sold. I bought a DL-7 to replace a broken Fuji X70, and now I have a DL-8. Each has its own characteristics, and they are really as different from each other as can be. As an "other Leica" owner, the DL-8 UI is familiar and as good, but I would like at least 2 DL-7 features back in the DL-8 i.e. stepped zoom setting and focus lock. Leica seem to have a thing about the latter and I doubt we'll see it back in any future firmware update.
I too own other Leicas and I’m interested in the DL-8 but there seems to be a significant overlap between this and the Q2 or Q3, especially when the lens is extended is it not roughly the same size? How have you found it?
@@ianforber In terms of dimensions, the Q3 is wider, thicker and taller in the body. Without a lens cap on, the lens protrusion of the Q3 is very slightly shorter than the DL8 when it starts up at the lowest default zoom length of 24. The Q3 lens diameter is also much greater than the DL8. The big difference is in the weight.
Whilst the DL8 is a "sort of pocketable" camera, the Q3 is not. I try to use each of my cameras as much as possible, depending on subjects, but the DL8 is very much a "to hand" camera, as was the DL7, which I liked very much, and the DL8 even more. The Leica menu system is perfect for me, even with the downsides of not being able to lock focus point, stepping zoom and a couple of other DL7 things that haven't been carried over.
At the moment, I'm using the DL8 a lot, partly because it's new to me, but it fits in with what I want as much as its predecessor DL7.
I think this will be a great EDC camera. I can’t wait to receive mine. Thanks for this review.
Thanks for this very fair review. I think a lot of camera reviewers misjudge this camera. I think Leica had a good sense of what the market wants right now. Sadly its sold out just like it's compact camera competitors right now LOL I just hope Leica adds the D-Lux to their Leica Looks they have for Q and SL. I think most people who use those cameras shoot RAW anyways, and the D-Lux would be perfect for Looks that people who shoot JPG can use.
Believe we still have stock if you are looking! Link in bio!

I tried to order one from your site. It says it is in stock but wouldn't take my order saying there wasn't enough stock. 0:11
Just spoke to the office the issue should be rectified
Menu options are much more limited now. Pity.
Fantastic review. I sold my fuji X70 and preordered these. Can’t wait to get them on October I guess.
We do have one in stock if you want to head over to www.cameracentreuk.com
This is basically a more expensive LX100 II?
What SD card do you recommend: UHS-I or UHS II ? Latter seems recommended by Leica.
No weather sealing on the Leica. Sensor dust vacuum. Might as well get the Canon R50 with the Sigma 18-50 2.8. Save a couple hundred. Use the R50 as webcam as well.
The waiting list for one is far to long............
Sure, a micro 4/3 beats an APSC. And the Leica is more expensive than the x100vi. Go for the Leica 😂
You can’t actually buy either…. So it’s a pointless 😂
@@davidmantripp5312 we have stock, if you interested pop over to site or call up our sales staff!
@@cameracentretv unfortunately I'm in Switzerland, otherwise I'd probably take you up. Here not even the Leica Store can get one / have any idea when they can.
