Leica D-Lux 8 | First Look with Nick Rains

Thanks Nick for this review with a stellar backdrop to boot. Great way to show off the D-Lux 8’s capabilities. The adoption of the Leica menus is the real plus and a game changer. 👍🏻

Yet another stellar review Nick. Another plus for the D-Lux-8 is its size and weight. As much as I'd like to just shove my M11 into a coat pocket 'just in case', with the D-Lux-8 I could do so easily. Which also means that, as a handicapped person, whether in a wheelchair, walker or other mobility assistance device, I can still take superb photographs. I may not be able to shoot where we once did in Australia, but at least I can still go out and find other places accessible and take photographs to my heart's content and I thank Leica for considering us handicapped photographers.

Great anecdotes on this new camera. Seems incredibly versatile, and the images that you shared were quite impressive. Thank you for sharing.

What an amazing video and photographs, would love to see more from Nick.

Hi Nick. I was at Leitz Park last week and noticed a lovely large color print of yours in the Museum.

One rarely sees an introduction to a new camera that looks like a National Geographic article. Congratulations, and I hope you will do a setup video like the one you did for the D-Lux 7.

Now that's what i call a proper cruise! Great video Nick!!!

Love it, just wish it were made in GERMANY and NOT China, also 20 Mega Pixels would have had me been buying one right now! I love LEICA stuff, I own an M6 and a Q3.

Very nice introduction to this new camera. I have one. on order to be a carry around camera to go with my SL3. Thank you for the intro

Is possible to set a default focal lenght to start always?

Used in Greenland but the camera is not weather-sealed?

Great video Nick. Does the flash work on M11 and SL3?

Hello, Great info. will the handgrip for the leica d lux 7 fit the leica d lux 8.Thanks

Welcome for the renew lx100ii😅

Very much enjoyed the first look, can this D-Lux take filters like some of the earlier models did

For me, the key factors are, can it start up quickly, can it take sharp images with its AF on subjects that are moving? I’d basically be using it for street photography only. Is zooming in and out of focal length fast or slow compared to other camera makers? 🖖

I thought it was a 17 megapixel.

Panasonic make great cameras

I wonder if i can use that tiny flash on my new Q3 ?

Of course it needs to be put in a dry bag – it has no weather sealing.
