The Leica V-Lux 30 is a point-and-shoot compact camera centered on a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of capturing stills at up to 4320x3240 pixels. Its burst mode reaches 10 frames per second, making it well-suited for capturing fast-moving subjects. Video capability extends to 1080p at 30fps, covering everyday filming needs.
The primary interface is a 3.0-inch Touchscreen LCD with 460,000-dot resolution — there is no viewfinder.

The ISO range spans 100 to 1600, and storage is handled via SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.
