C-Lux overview
The Leica C-Lux is a 20.1 MP 1-inch compact camera with a built-in lens, announced by Leica in June 2018. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel and everyday carry. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust, all-day shooting on one battery, and paid jobs that need a backup card.
New, it sells for $1,195 in the United States (Leica Store Miami); used and refurbished copies start at $874.04. It launched at $1,050.
Worth comparing it with the Sony RX100 VII, Canon PowerShot G5 X Mark II and Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III.

Each price is in its own currency, as the store charges it. The ≈ figures are approximate, at today's exchange rate (ECB reference rates, 2026-11-06), rounded, and leave out shipping, import duty, GST/VAT and card fees.

Low light & noise
2.4 µm pixels
20.1 MP on a 1" sensor, ISO up to 12,800
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
- Photons to Photos: dynamic range vs ISO ↗Photographic dynamic range measured at every ISO, bodies on one chart
- Photons to Photos: noise vs ISO ↗Read noise at every ISO from lab tests: lower is cleaner in the shadows
- DPReview studio scene ↗The same scene shot by each camera at the ISO you pick, side by side
- DPReview reviews ↗Full reviews with high-ISO samples
- Low-light video tests ↗Real-world high-ISO footage on YouTube
How it stacks up
- 370 shots — longer battery life than 80% of the 1" compact (fixed lens) cameras we list
