Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 is one of our favourite premium grade compact cameras, which means our hopes for the nigh identical 10.1MP, 3.8x optical zoom Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium are as high as the price tag. Yes, owning a Leica camera with its famous little red dot logo costs a lot, with little concession made to market competitiveness. The silver-grey metal Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium is, however, still one of the least expensive cameras to bear the brand's hallmark, costing £855 in the UK and $1,195 in the US, compared to the £1,400 or $2,000 Leica X1. Leica also throws in a luxurious matching leather carry case. If the Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium still sounds prohibitively pricey, the regular Leica D-Lux 5 is a comparative bargain, at £650 or $800. Cheaper competitors include the Canon PowerShot S100, Canon PowerShot G12, Nikon Coolpix P7100 and Fuji FinePix X10.Like the Panasonic Lumix LX5, the Leica D-Lux 5 Titanium features an 11.3MP, 1/1.63-inch CCD sensor at its core, plus a bright f/2.0 maximum aperture that, along with an ISO range topping out at ISO 12800, suggests this is an able tool for low-light photography.

Leica D-Lux 5

The Leica D-Lux 5 ($799 list) is a high-end compact point-and-shoot camera with a high price that's aimed directly at enthusiasts. If its specifications remind you of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 ($499.99, 3.5 stars) don't be surprised—from a hardware standpoint the two cameras are identical. Leica has put the LX5 in a different casing, bundled the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 ($299, 4.5 stars) and included a longer 2-year warranty. The camera's internal software has changed as well, to the point where the images it captures are much sharper than those from the LX5. The price point is not too bad if you aren't already a Lightroom owner, but our Editors' Choice high-end point-and-shoot, the Canon PowerShot S100 ($429.99, 4.5 stars) is still a better overall value. Design and FeaturesIdentical in size to the 2.6-by-4.3-by-1.7-inch Lumix LX5, the D-Lux 5 weighs 0.2 ounces more, tipping the scales at 9.5 ounces. The outer stylings are a bit different—the Lumix has a small hand grip on the front of the camera, while the D-Lux 5 has none. The flush front and matte black finish give the camera a bit of a retro look, which should be appealing to aesthetically-conscious consumers.
