Leica D-Lux 8 review: Leica, for less

 

The charm, style and image quality of a Leica, in a pocketable form.

Great design ; Smooth operation ; Excellent image quality

Essentially the same as the Panasonic Lumix LX100 II and Leica D-Lux 7 ; Premium price for the Leica badge ; Fixed screen

The Leica D-Lux 8 combines a beautifully understated design and simple operation with image quality that surpasses expectations for a compact camera. However, it's only a minor refresh of the D-Lux 7, which is several years old now. Fresh styling...

Leica D-Lux 8 review: the best Leica camera for most people

 

Is the Leica D-Lux 8 the best cheap Leica? We think it might be

Iconic Leica imaging style ; Compact footprint ; Simple button and menu layout ; Full manual control capabilities

Zoom is agonisingly slow ; Autofocus can sometimes struggle ; Burst rate is not up to modern standards

The Leica D-Lux 8 is unquestionably the best value-for-money camera in the Leica family. Image quality is magnificent, with the iconic look the brand is famed for. It's not perfect, but it's the cheapest way of getting that iconic style, and that's a...

Leica D-Lux 8 review: the compact camera revival continues

 

The least expensive Leica makes a comeback. The Leica D-Lux 8 isn't exactly brand new, but a few subtle tweaks go a long way

Looks and feels like a modern Leica ; Clean, detailed and colourful stills ; Aspect ratio switch and phone app add influencer appeal

No tilting screen or step zoom for street snappers ; Autofocus system is behind the times ; Where are the Leica looks?

The most affordable way to own the most recognisable red dot in photography. The Leica D-Lux 8 feels a little outdated in some ways, but still does the compact zoom camera thing very well indeed.

Leica D-Lux 8 Review

 

Four Thirds format image sensor ; Bright f/1.7-2.8 zoom lens ; Large eye-level viewfinder ; Straightforward dial-driven exposure control ; Premium finish with magnesium chassis ; Includes small external flash

Fixed LCD isn't as useful as tilting alternatives ; Basic focus system omits subject recognition ; No weather protection ; Cropped 8-bit 4K30 video

The compact Leica D-Lux 8 pairs a decently large sensor with a versatile zoom lens, but the camera's focus and video tech feel dated.
