Overview

The Leica D-Lux 8 Digital is a compact mirrorless camera introduced in 2008 featuring a 1/1.63-inch CCD sensor that delivers a resolution of 10.1 megapixels. It utilizes a Leica DC Vario-Summicron 3x zoom lens with a focal length of 28-90mm (35mm equivalent) and an aperture range of f/2.0 to f/2.4, enabling high-quality image capture in varying lighting conditions.

The camera supports manual and automatic exposure modes, with shutter speeds ranging from 1/2000s to 8s, and ISO sensitivities from 80 up to 1600, allowing flexibility in different shooting environments. It features a 2.5-inch LCD display for composing and reviewing images, and provides both RAW (DNG) and JPEG image formats for advanced post-processing capabilities.

The D-Lux 8 includes built-in image stabilization to reduce blur caused by camera shake, and supports video recording at VGA resolution. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 for data transfer. The camera’s compact design is coupled with Leica's renowned optical performance, combining portability with professional-grade imaging technology. As a model released more than a decade ago, the D-Lux 8 has been discontinued, but remains a significant piece in Leica's digital camera lineup.
