Camera Overview — Leica D-LUX 4

The Leica D-Lux 4 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 10MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor, offering a solid imaging foundation in a refined metal body. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 3648x2736 pixels and supports burst shooting at up to 2.5 frames per second, making it capable of handling moderately fast-moving subjects. The camera features optical image stabilization to help reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

For video, the D-Lux 4 records at up to 720p at 30fps. The ISO range spans from 80 to 3200, providing flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. A 3.0-inch LCD display with 460,000-dot resolution serves as the primary framing and review tool, and no viewfinder is present in the specifications.

The camera includes a built-in pop-up flash as well as a hot shoe for attaching external flash units. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The body measures 109 x 60 x 27 mm and weighs 228g, making it genuinely pocketable. The metal construction gives it a premium, durable feel consistent with the Leica brand.
