In this video I introduce the just announced new Leica DLux 8. Market launch for this camera will be the 2nd of July. I compare the new DLux 8 with the Leica DLux 7, with the Leica Q3 and with the also just announced new Panasonic Lumix S9 which is a full frame sensor system camera in the LMount Alliance. The video explains everything you need to know about the new Leica DLux 8.

Additional note: the new Panasonic Lumix S9 has no EVF likely not a problem for videographers but certainly for photographers. This is the big disadvantage of the new Lumix S9. Its possible that there will be an accessory EVF available in the future like we have it in the Leica world (Visoflex 2) but for the time being image composition will have to happen via the rear LCD screen if you shoot an S9.

What material is the Leica DLux 8 made of:
Full metal housing: magnesium diecast, leatherette covering
