I just watched a video on the D-Lux 8 from one of the few who have shot one. When I saw the video sample of the street trolly I was kind of taken aback a bit. It showed really, really bad rolling shutter on a not very fast moving pan. To me that indicates a very slow scan speed on the sensor. Why in the World, at this price point is Leica using such a slow and dated sensor. It is only a micro 4/3 sized sensor and should not be that slow scanning in 2024.
Low tech sensor,
No weather sealing,
Plastic body,
unnecessarily low resolution due to lens design
dated rear screen and EVF specs
High price
My love of leica only goes so far. But I would really like a camera in this category.
Maybe I am being too skeptical. My local store says that there will be a long waiting getting this camera judging by the size of their pre-order list. Hmmmmm....
