Excellent camera, lots of extras, got my money’s worth. Adorama has long been excellent photography business to purchase from. Very pleased! Leica is outstanding.

This is a great camera! When I don’t want to drag around my around my SLR and all its lenses, the Leica fits in my pocket and gives amazing results.

Great camera so far, have only used for a little bit. Impressed by the accessories, love that it’s a pro sd card, I wasn’t expecting that and the case is really good quality. Highly recommend for anyone interested. Arrived earlier than predicted, too.

Recommend the book "Photographer's Guide to the Leica D-Lux (Type 109)" by Alexander S. White. Former die hard film user. Now learning digital.

I was worried about spending this kind of money on a fixed lens P&S, but my worries subsided when I felt this camera in my hands and they were gone after I processed my first batch of photos. It's a great camera that makes very good images without having to lug around a heavier SLR.

Awesome little camera. This one isn't as intuitive as my D-Lux 5 or Digilux 2 (or my old M6 but that's another story) so be prepared to dig into the manual. It's worth it; once you get past it wanting to shoot video not stills! The D-Lux 5 on the other hand is dead-simple. I wish I could say the same about the Type 109. The remote function is something wildlife photographers will love! From your phone you can control all aspects of the camera (while seeing the image too) including actually taking a picture! Fantastic!

I love the camera. I have used Nikons for many years, full sized DSLRs are getting a little heavy at my age. Several years ago, I bought a D-Lux 5 and have used it extensively. It's so convenient to stick in my pocket or in my car's console. I plan to use the new camera the same way. I gave the D-Lux 5 to a friend and decided I needed a replacement.

Pros It's small and light. convenient If you like the option of manuel shooting. Setting can be adjusted externally. no menus to sort through to find your settings. Wifi function is user friendly. Cons the zoom isn't on the lens. It's in the shutter release button. The automatic seems to let a little dust in. Keeping a lens cloth handy is mandatory. The lens pops out when viewing photos or using wifi

Leica D-Lux Explorer Kit - Spontaneously capture those unique moments
The Leica D-Lux Explorer Kit has everything you need. Enjoy the surprises those special moments bring and capture them in a flash. The Leica D-Lux Explorer Kit, comprising a camera, an exclusive carrying strap in robust hardwearing cotton and an innovative lens cap, makes it possible. The shutters of the lens cap open at a touch to make sure that even the most fleeting moments are never missed. The lens cap also offers additional protection for the lens. It often happens that conventional lens caps are left off the lens between shots, but the innovative lens cap opens and closes all by itself. Discover new worlds of creative options - with the Leica D-Lux Explorer Kit.
Fast and fantastic - the incredibly fast lens
Of all the Leica compact cameras, the D-Lux has one of the fastest lenses. Its zoom lens is perfectly matched to its large sensor. With an impressive sensitivity range to ISO 25600 thanks to particularly large pixels, it makes the best of available light and delivers pictures with natural colors and exceptional quality. Perfect for available-light photography and, thanks to a versatile zoom lens (24 to 75mm in 35mm format), in an almost infinite number of creative genres - from portraits, landscapes, and architecture to macro and reportage, the classic domain of Leica cameras.
Beautifully simple: Form follows function
Even at first glance, the D-Lux reveals its heritage as a genuine Leica - classic elegance, timeless beauty, and particular attention to simple and intuitive handling. The change between automatic and manual modes is also particularly simple. Even less experienced photographers can enjoy the experience of immediate success - and seeing it brightly and clearly on the high-resolution 3" LCD monitor, even in bright sunlight. In an instant, anyone taking it in their hands feels and sees the superior quality of both its materials and finish.
High resolution of the integrated viewfinder
The ideal composition and framing of subjects and scenes is quickly found in the integrated electronic viewfinder. Thanks to a resolution of 2.8 megapixels, it delivers a sharp, high-contrast image - even in bright conditions. Cleverly, the viewfinder shows the same exposure settings as are displayed on the monitor. As it also offers individual diopter compensation, the viewfinder can be used by glasses wearers with no limitations at all.
No wires attached thanks to Wi-Fi and NFC
An integrated Wi-Fi module provides remote control for the D-Lux from a smartphone or tablet, which is particularly useful when the photographer wants to be in the picture. The Leica C Image Shuttle app required for this function can be downloaded free of charge and installed on iOS or Android devices. An integrated NFC (near field communication) module quickly and easily sets up a Wi-Fi connection with an NFC-compatible smartphone when the phone is held close to the camera.
Moving memories in high-resolution 4K format
Sometimes videos say more than still pictures. The Leica D-Lux is ideally prepared to capture such moments - on video in 4K, the high-definition digital recording format with four times the resolution of full HD. Recording and saving videos is simplicity itself - and the quality is no less than breathtaking. In fact, it's so good that single moments from videos can be selected and kept as photos.
