Classy

Mar 21, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Stylish Looking, Great Colours
Cons: Expensive
Opinion:
Perhaps this should be compared against the Lumix LX3 than any other cam.

The questions asked would probably range around why should I choose the more expensive D-Lux 4 over the LX3.

3 Reasons:
1) Classy Looking (does not have the ugly looking grip panel that is on the LX3 or has too many things written in the front panel the camera)

2) The photo colour re-production from the LEICA seems to be generally more dynamic as opposed to the LX3. What I mean by that is that the LX3 photos often turn out flatter and lacking depth as opposed to the LEICA D-Lux 4 when taking in automatic mode at least. For the Pros, I guess this might not matter too much.

3) The stylish looking brown leather casing that comes with it compensates for the extra expense of purchasing the D-LUX4.

In short, this is a great replacement over carrying a bulky SLR around when wanting to take quick great pics.
