FWIW anyone considering the Leica D-Lux 6 would benefit from considering a Panisonic LX7. Why? I'll let ephotozine explain:

The Leica D-Lux 6 is Leica's version of the Panasonic Lumix LX7, and as such the specifications and features are identical, however there are some subtle design changes that make the D-Lux 6 a more disceet compact camera, as well as a different package in the box, including Lightroom 4 as well as a longer 3 year warranty. Due to the similarities, this review is based on the LX7 review.

Big Camera has the LX7 for 12,990 THB. Electronic viewfinder is extra - if you can find it.

In response to previous post, which is reported to Hua Hin Forum for not being relevant to this part of the forum. User 'Homer' seems to have to much free time and thus uses it to meddling into business which he's not invited to, i.e. being a candidate of purchasing above equipment.

However, my response to what the Leica DLUX 6 alternative brings, part from the brand itself which for many people is a guarantee that a product will satisfy him or her in the long run.

There is a considerable price difference between the D-LUX 6 and the LX7. So what am I missing besides Leica's red dot and a one year longer warranty when I buy the Panasonic model plus the all inclusive Adobe LR ?

Some hints about the differences between Leica and Panasonic products. The lenses were designed and specified by Leica but are being manufactured in Japan. The Solms lens elements for the e.g. the M8 were individually ground, polished and tested. This is a slow process even when rows of robots are used and it may take up to 40 minutes for a single, critical element. In contrast Panasonic uses mass production techniques where multiple lens elements are mounted to the same grinding and polishing head and they are all worked on simultaneously. This leads to some variability between element finishes. Furthermore, not every lens element is tested. Instead samples are taken and measured to keep the manufacturing process under control and within specifications. Thus one can expect some variability in the lens performance.

The data processing firmware is designed around Leica preferences. So there is a difference, but it only carries an initial development cost. It adds value though.

The remaining critical element for picture quality is the light sensor, the charge-coupled-device or CCD. There is usually some variability in CCD performance due to imperfections in the semi-conductor material and chip manufacturing process. It shows up also in its noise performance. Thus one can assume that each CCD has been tested for acceptability and that possibly they are sorted according to their application. The D-LUX 6 exhibits the lowest noise of comparable cameras. It leads me to assume that it uses a selected CCD to meet Leica specifications.

You get a camera that meets the Leica specifications and that is guaranteed not to exceed their tolerance limit.

The D-LUX 6 use a CCD with tighter specifications and if so will provide better image quality in low light portions of a photograph than the LX7.

Hopefully it is not only a Leica brand mystique.

When you say your merchandise, is this camara used or new and how many do you have for sale.

[soi6huahin]

I have one, with original documentation and packaging.

The DLux6 and LX7 are produced in the same factory on the same line.

Leica and Pannasonic partnered to make lenses over 10 years ago. Leica has 2 levels of involvement with Panny. The top level lenses are labeled 'Leica' as is on the LX7. Does anyone think Leica would let a substandard lens bear their name? The belief that the two camera's optics are different came from Leica salesmen.
