A newly developed 1/1.7-inch CMOS sensor is joined by a wide range of features, including fully automatic mode, manual setting modes and Full HD video recording.
The Leica D-Lux 6 was announced at Photokina 2012, alongside the Leica V-Lux 4, Leica M and Leica M-E, Leica S and new lenses.
Lens
The lens of the Leica D-Lux 6 is a Leica DC-Vario-Summilux 4.7-17.7mm optic, which offers 24-90mm in 35mm equivalent terms. The maximum aperture of the lens, at the wide end, is f/1.4, rising to just f/2.3 at the telephoto end.
A 10 million pixel sensor is joined by a new image processor which facilitates high ISO shooting of up to ISO 12,800. A high resolution, 3-inch, 920,000 pixel screen is also available on the back of the camera. Full HD video recording is available.
Accessories can be mounted on to the camera via the hotshoe. Available extras include an electronic viewfinder and a compact flash unit. Leica V-Lux 4 Superzoom
V-Lux 4 -- a big new superzoom addition to the company's line. Though its got a similar name to the V-Lux 40, the camera's body is a good deal larger -- closer in size and shape to a small DSLR, but still reasonably lightweight. As with the smaller model, the V-Lux 4 features an all black design, with a bright red Leica logo on the front -- in this case, just next to the curving textured handle. Also on top is a pop-out flash that you trigger with a devoted button.
The V-Lux 4 is capable of continuous f2.8 zoom, accessible via two buttons -- one on top and the other next to the lens. Also on the rear, you get two viewfinders -- optical on top and a swiveling electronic three-inch display.
