Leica D-Lux 4: f/2 Summicron glass in a coat pocket.
The D-Lux 4 leads with its lens. The 24–60mm equivalent Leica DC Vario-Summicron opens to f/2 at the wide end, which is genuinely rare in a compact body measuring 109 x 56 x 27mm and weighing 248g. That maximum aperture gives you real separation and low-light capability that most fixed-lens compacts of this size never offered. Pair it with optical image stabilization and ISO up to 3200, and you have a camera that holds its own well past golden hour.
The exposure controls are the other reason shooters reach for this camera. Aperture priority, shutter priority, and full manual mode sit alongside a 60-second minimum shutter speed and a top speed of 1/2000 sec. RAW capture is supported, so the 10MP CCD files are yours to work with in post. The 3-inch, 460,000-dot LCD is large for a camera of this era, and the multiple aspect ratios, 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9, let you compose natively for different output formats. HD video at 1280x720 rounds out what is, at its core, a pocketable camera built around glass that happens to carry one of the most storied names in optics.
Who It's For
Street photographers who need a wide f/2 aperture and discreet dimensions will find the 24mm equivalent wide end and 248g weight a practical daily combination. Travel photographers shooting across formats benefit from the native 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 aspect ratios alongside RAW output. Film photographers looking for a compact digital companion get full manual exposure controls and a shutter range from 60 seconds down to 1/2000 sec. Collectors and Leica enthusiasts drawn to the DC Vario-Summicron optics get that glass in a form factor that fits any bag.

FAQ
- How does the D-Lux 4 compare to the Panasonic Lumix LX3?
- They share the same Leica DC Vario-Summicron f/2–2.8 lens and core sensor, but the D-Lux 4 carries Leica's name and tuning. Operationally, the menus are identical - both require navigation through six-page deep structures, so choose based on which badge matters to you and what used pricing looks like in your market.
- Can I shoot RAW on the D-Lux 4?
- Yes. RAW capture is supported alongside JPEG, giving you full control over the 10MP CCD files in post-processing.
- What's the real-world low-light performance with f/2 and ISO 3200?
- The f/2 maximum aperture at wide end is genuinely useful for available light. ISO 3200 extends that reach, though CCD noise at the highest ISO is visible - expect grain at full sensitivity. The optical stabilization compensates for slower shutter speeds, so you have options before pushing ISO.
- Does the D-Lux 4 support RAW + JPEG simultaneous capture?
- The specifications confirm RAW and JPEG capture, but simultaneous dual-format recording isn't documented. You'll likely choose one or the other per shot.
- What video modes are available?
- Four options: 1280x720 at 24fps, 848x480 at 30fps, 640x480 at 30fps, and 320x240 at either 30fps or 10fps. The 24fps HD mode is the highest quality, though bitrate and codec details aren't specified.
- Is there a viewfinder on this camera?
- The fixed 3-inch LCD is your primary frame, but Leica offered an optional optical viewfinder attachment for eye-level composition.
- How long does the battery last on a charge?
- Runtime isn't specified in the documentation. Leica supplied a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charger, so plan for typical compact-camera endurance - roughly 100–150 frames per charge depending on stabilization and LCD use.
