PRODUCT INFORMATION
Leica D-Lux4 - £549
Comes with a free 4GB SD Card
A new fast lens, full 24mm wide angle, a hot-shoe and a range of accessories – just some of the features that justify this camera’s claim to be the “Son of M8”.
At full f / 2.0 aperture, the LEICA D-LUX 4 lens brings more creative possibilities with low light and depth of field into the sphere of compact photography. Equivalent to 24 to 60 mm in 35 mm format, the lens even provides an f / 2.8 aperture at full zoom. The lens design consists of eight elements, of which four are aspherical. These are matched individually to the camera sensor, working in harmony with the electronics and software to produce stunningly brilliant pictures in true to life colours. The 1 / 1.63” sensor offering 10.1 mega pixel resolution is unusually large for this class of camera. This sensor size enables the camera to retain the full 24 mm wide angle.
At 24 mm wide angle (35 mm format equivalent) the LEICA D-LUX 4 photographer is able to shoot wider travel and reportage photography, which is currently in vogue.
Leica Camera AG has developed its own unique colour matching, contrast and picture definition profile which produces digital picture characteristics complimentary to Leica M film photography. Data recording can be in Fine, Standard, RAW or combinations. The LEICA D-LUX 4 is also prepared for photos in HDTV format with a HD port for TV connection.
The hot-shoe allows a 24 mm viewfinder accessory option and combined with an optional stylish leather “ever ready” style classic strapped case; this black camera definitely looks the part. Focus, shutter speed, stops and exposure override can all be set manually for real enthusiast appeal. A wide range of accessories will be launched to create a system camera experience.
“With the add-on accessories, the high speed optics and an intelligent operation concept, the LEICA D-LUX 4 is a real little system camera whose performance profile can definitely hold its own in comparison with DSLR” says Stefan Trippe, Vice President Production and Engineering at Leica Camera AG.
