Leica D-Lux 8: Four Thirds sensor in a coat-pocket body
The D-Lux 8 puts a 17MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor behind a Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9–34mm f/1.7–2.8 lens, that's a 24–75mm equivalent with a maximum aperture that opens wider than most compact zoom lenses touch. At the wide end, f/1.7 gives you real separation and serious low-light capability without reaching for a flash. The D-Lux 8 is the first in the series to support DNG, so you're working from full raw files than being locked into JPEG.
The control layout draws from the Leica Q line: physical dials, a logical interface, and an OLED EVF with 2,360,000-dot resolution and 100% coverage sitting alongside a 3-inch, 1,840,000-dot touchscreen. Burst shooting reaches 11 fps, and the electronic shutter extends to 1/16000 second for wide-open shooting in bright conditions. UHD 4K at up to 29.97 fps rounds out the video side. At 397 grams with the battery installed, the die-cast magnesium body disappears into a bag, but the optics and sensor it carries don't punch like a compact.
Who It's For
Travel photographers who refuse to check a bag get a 24–75mm equivalent zoom with f/1.7 at the wide end, all in a 397-gram magnesium body. Street shooters benefit from the 1/16000-second electronic shutter, which handles bright midday light at wide apertures without neutral density filters. Documentary and journalism-adjacent shooters finally have DNG support in a D-Lux, meaning raw files are available for critical color work in post. Photographers who want an optical viewfinder experience in a compact form will find the 2,360,000-dot OLED EVF with 100% coverage a serious working tool than an afterthought.

FAQ
- What's the sensor and resolution in the D-Lux 8?
- 17MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor (21.77 megapixels actual) delivering both stills and 4K video from a compact body.
- How does the lens perform in low light?
- The Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9–34mm f/1.7–2.8 opens to f/1.7 at the wide end, wider than most compact zooms and enough for serious subject separation and handheld shooting without a flash.
- Can I shoot raw files on the D-Lux 8?
- Yes - this is the first D-Lux to support DNG raw format alongside JPEG, giving you full post-processing control from the original file.
- What are the viewfinder and screen specs?
- 2,360,000-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 100% coverage alongside a 3-inch, 1,840,000-dot touchscreen LCD. An integrated eye sensor switches between them automatically.
- What's the burst rate and what format limitations exist?
- 11 fps continuous shooting with a buffer of up to 12 frames for raw or 100 frames for JPEG - enough for short sequences but not machine-gun bursts.
- How do I transfer images wirelessly?
- The Leica FOTOS app pairs via Bluetooth 5.0 LE and Wi-Fi for remote control, live view, file access, and firmware updates on Android and iOS.
