Camera Overview — Leica D-Lux 6

11fps Burst Shooting: Unusually fast continuous shooting rate for a compact camera, useful for capturing fast-moving subjects.
Optical Image Stabilization: Built-in OIS reduces the effect of camera shake during handheld shooting, particularly in lower light situations.
1080p AVCHD Progressive Video: Records smooth full HD footage at up to 60p (NTSC) or 50p (PAL), suitable for everyday video use.
ISO 80–6400 Range: Wide sensitivity range allows shooting across varied lighting conditions, from bright daylight to dimmer indoor environments.

Description — Leica D-Lux 6
The Leica D-Lux 6 is a compact point-and-shoot camera designed for enthusiasts who want meaningful creative control in a portable body. At its core is a 10MP, 1/1.7-inch sensor processed by the Venus Engine, paired with an ISO range of 80 to 6400 for adaptable performance across lighting conditions. Stills are captured at a maximum resolution of 3648x2736, with support for both RAW and JPEG formats.
The camera's 11fps burst mode makes it capable of tracking fast-moving subjects in a way that few compact cameras can match. Video recording reaches 1080p in AVCHD Progressive at 60p (NTSC) or 50p (PAL). Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) aids handheld shooting, while the contrast detection AF system with 23 focus points handles focusing duties. The rear 3.0-inch Fixed TFT LCD delivers a crisp 920,000-dot image for framing and review.
Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and the camera connects via USB. An optional electronic viewfinder is available for those who prefer eye-level shooting.
