Leica announces D-Lux 4 and C-Lux 3: “Pre-Photokina 2008: Leica has announced the D-Lux 4 and C-Lux 3 digital compact cameras. D-Lux 4 features a 1/1.63’ CCD image sensor, 3.0’, 460,000 dot LCD monitor and a 24 to 60mm (equiv) lens. Compared to D-Lux-4, C-Lux 3 has a smaller 1/2.33’ CCD sensor, 2.5’, 230,000 dots LCD monitor and zoom range of 24 to 125mm (equiv). Both include 50MB internal storage, support SD/SDHC storage and video recording.”

This looks interesting. Wide, fast lens. 10.1 megapixels, large sensor in a small format, JPG and RAW. No viewfinder though. Worth checking when it comes out. I have tried the C-Lux range and they produce some excellent images, though expensive. It’s all in the lens.
