D-Lux 8 overview

The Leica D-Lux 8 is a 17 MP Micro Four Thirds compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Leica in May 2024.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel and everyday carry. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as paid jobs that need a backup card.

New, it sells for A$2,990 in Australia (Georges Cameras). Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$2,810 to A$2,990 new.

Worth comparing it with the Leica D-Lux 7, Fujifilm X100VI and Ricoh GR IIIx.
