hello, ive just ordered a Leica D-Lux 3, need a little camera for a project im starting soon, its with different cities so i cant be taking the big stuff around, has anyone owned or own one of these, and what they like, i used to have a M5 and a R4 Leica, the film camera were great.

I've no experience with this camera. To my knowledge only Vicar, who has not posted here for some time has a Leica compact, and I'm not sure what model it was.

You might find users of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 more common - as I understand it it is the same camera so their comments would be valid.

I am sure that the camera will be fine. I cannot imaging Leica putting their name to something that was not.

One thing did strike me about your post though I would have asked the question before I ordered the camera not after

ni it wouldnt stop me ordering it, just wanted to see what people thought of the camera, i speak to people who love canon, but i dont, it was just of interest that all, the difference with this model is that it had a leica lens.

I have found this review that might be of interest.

Hey, that's my review,. I love the little camera, but beware, it dosen't have a view finder. It can be hard to see with the sun on the lcd. Last time I used it, I filled the card up with movies. I have moved to this camera from a mini dv cam for it's small and useful size. I like the pic's and know you will be happy with it. One thing I find hoakie, is that when I use raw for pic's, it will only shoot jpeg + raw. Not the best option for a pure raw shooter like me. Pictures are good quality and I love the option for ratio switch.
