It's a camera of missed opportunities. Practically no improvements to its predecessor at a ridiculous price and TBH I never liked MFT anyway... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just buy Japanese cameras they are better in every way.

My battery last forever and I’ve had mine since 2016 . This camera is a great camera the price has gone up drastically cause it’s a cult classic now I got mine deep discounted back in the day cause ppl hated it when it came out .

It's all a cheap compact by Panasonic... rebadged with the L logo and 5x the price... 😂😂😂 another happy customer

I thought this would have great potential as a x100 and griii competitor but it doesn't seem to stack up in terms of user experience, while it does offer something unique zoom wise. I wanted something more compact and had my eye on this but I passed it up in favour of buying the viltrox pancake 28mm for my a7iv. Safe to say the lens has made it a great deal easier to handle while still being the camera I am so familiar and comfortable with.

If you turn it off, it's the Bluetooth or the camera is still writing to the card. Thats the thing with the buffer, what you expirienced while shooting, the buffer is really small. Like you said, most of the points could be corrected via firmware, I don't get it why they not correct some of the issues. They're easy to fix and would make this camera even better to sell. I don't have the issue with the WB. I think it is very accurate most of the times and is able to pick the right Kelvin even in more complex situations, where I see others struggle. The camera itself is more a bunch of quirks as it is a perfect camera but I have to say that I love to use it as my second camera to the A1 at events etc. It might not be super fast with the zoom, but when I think about what it is, I'm ok with it. Some argue the price is to high but this thing fits a purpose. The package is small, you get a very bright lens that you don't get for normal mFT cameras and you get something that is really stands out and that is the EVF. For this size of camera, it's the best evf I ever have seen. In the end I understand if someone says no, thats to much quirks but I don't think I would like to give up on this little camera.

You could have bought the LUMIX LX100II, which is pretty much the same camera, for 650 Euros less.

Typical photos taken by a tech nerd. Nothing special, no vision, no creativity.

oh that missing "resume focal length on startup" feature is really a bummer. The Olympus PEN E-P/L M43 compact cameras do have that feature with power zooms. also leica is known for shitty firmware bugs :) I honestly wouldn't spend that money on a rebadged Lumix

so lx100 is better than the dlux8? this is unexpected. the lens zoom motors are schnitzel on the lx too but you could use it on the previously used length and just the startup time is slow for the extension

Long (too long) waiting times, quality issues, AF-Performance, artificial shortening of production numbers to get more "premium" customers, steep prizes in comparisons to the other brands, leaving Kaizen-Updates and the lacking transparency of the road map (looking at you, X-Pro4)... the mistakes go on and on. I switched to a Nikon ZF for exactly all those reasons and I will not come back.

That camera at that price is a joke

Thumbs down for that stupid sound effect man. SMH 🤦🏽‍♂️

Hello there, I've owned the D-Lux type 109 for 6 years and the D-Lux 7 for 6 years and bought the D-Lux 8 a few months ago and I've never experienced any of the problems that you mentioned. I treat them as compact camera's and accept them as just that. I don't think of these cameras as serious tools, just fun to have with me when out and about hiking and walking.... thanks for the video

It is not a Micro Four Thirds camera. It does not have a Micro Four Thirds sensor. Micro Four Thirds is a lens mount standard for interchangeable lenses, not a sensor. This camera has a 4/3" sensor. All Micro Four Thirds cameras use 4/3" sensors, but not all cameras with 4/3" sensors are Micro Four Thirds.

Correction: you said a previous owner put the front hand grip on. But actually it’s part of the camera when new!

You'd think that Leica taking the LX100 Mk II would have made it into a more mature Leica product. I looked at the camera because I'd missed out on the LX100 Mk II, but I decided that it was too much for an experiment.

Yeah, those minor irritations can become big irritations when looking at what you paid for the camera. Not good. I'm shooting a LX100 ii as a small EDC. I don't mind the minor issues too much (for now?) since I bought it as a second hand camera for a reasonable price. Will probably get a Sony A7C ii or A7CR as a main street and travel camera next

Disable Bluetooth to mitigate the long turn off it’s due to the Bluetooth hanging

Fuji x100vi like new second hand MPB £1560 is far superior in every way to the Leica.

I agree with all your comments. My biggest gripe was with the barrel extension lens. I had the D-Lux 7. Sold it and got an M8

I had the LX-3, and at the time it served a great purpose: a square-frame 24mm pocket camera. I shot it alongside my Sony A7 and (mostly) loved it. The lack of EVF sucked. And it was meant to be an LX-5 with the EVF support. And it was in Japanese. But I spent maybe $120 CAD on it. No way I would spend Leica money on a Panasonic, though.

Thanks so much for your sacrifice! I hope you got all your money back. I had a feeling this camera was going to be warmed up leftovers. For that much money it should be awesome. I'm much more interested in seeing about the rumoured Fuji half frame compact that is supposedly coming. I'm gonna hold on to my old Canon G5X (OG) for now. I wish I hadn't passed up the used G5X mk2s for 500! They be over a grand now here in Germany. 🤯

I've been using a Fujifilm X-M1 for a while, looking for a change, and always liked the look of the LX100 so nearly bought the D-Lux 8. But at £1500 I couldn't justify the price. I bought a used Fujifilm X30, for a third of the price, instead and love it! Startup in a couple seconds, EVF, tilt screen, manual zoom with OIS, mic port! Yes the sensor is smaller but really for posting online it's enough and the picture quality is what you expect of Fuji. btw. I fell for the Lumix S9 marketing and ended up returning that so I know how you feel, buyers remorse.

If you can't be satisfied with Fuji . . . then quite seriously you can't be satisfied with anything -

I love the 20mm. I get round the video autofocus by switching the camera to manual and pressing a button to focu. It locks on and stays on,

😮❤

Big fan of the RX100. Had a M1 destroyed by sand after many years of abuse. Got a M3 that got mugged. Now I'm back to a M1. I really miss the M3 features but it's way more expensive than the M1.

x-t5 sensor should be better than X-t30||

I have an X100F, rubbish lens, autofocus is very poor! Shutter does not always fire! It has been back twice to Fuji service. Isues NOT FIXED! Fuji either Don't actually have a Service Department, .. Or the parts bin is just full on the same rubbish it was built with. No weather seal! ... Fuji are very good at creating Cult following customers, ... certainly not cameras! I bought it new, I still have it. But I simply don't trust it to shoot anything serious. Will I consider Fuji Film again, ... By obsrevation of the Fujifilm company culture, ... Thats a BIG NO. There is so much very good reliable competetion out there at a far more realistic price point, ... I see no reason to revisit a con.

I think that for a brand that is largely supported by enthusiasts as a lot of professionals don’t trust the autofocus etc they are becoming a very expensive proposition for enthusiasts..

I believe that Fuji has been infiltrated by Sony and Canon's ‘sleeper cells’ and/or ‘5th Columns’, sabotaging Fuji at every turn.😏😱 Seriously, they got lazy, started to believe, and fell in love with all of the hype and praise, early on. This is commonplace and a trait that all of us are susceptible to, how many times have we watched celebrities go from humble to arrogant in a short period? Businesses are no different. When I made the switch from Canon after close to 40 years as a news shooter, I was free from having to lug all of those heavy DSLRs around and excited to be starting over with a new system that had an old familiar vibe. When I would show up at a job with my X-Pro 2 or 3 and my X-T3, many former colleagues were curious and impressed as well as others, now they derisively snicker, walking off with their Sonys, Canon Rs, and Nikon Zs, hanging from their shoulders. So, do I stay or do I go…? Well, the work I do now is largely editorial and Travel and mostly on my schedule as I am largely retired, so warts and all, I’ll stick around. However, if I were back in the photojournalism game, I would have stayed with Canon, if I were to consider going back (trust me I am not), I would probably keep my X-Pros and X-E2, a few, primes and pick up a couple of Canon DSLRs. In a perfect world, Fuji would take care of business, and sincerely listen to the base that helped to make them a success and bring back Kaizen. They just announced a few hours ago that a Firmware update for the XH models has been released, but nothing as of yet for the X-T5, which is what I shoot.😡

Well Fuji said they will release new firmware for focus tracking this month …..I’m pretty sure they know this is their last straw for a lot of shooters. Hope they can do this final time or we will see a landslide of people dumping their Fuji. If they can’t keep up with the other brands just stop coming out with so many cameras.

I use XT5s I don't shoot video, I don't use eye or face detect, I don't have a problem with continuous focus, or single focus, but they do need to sort their firmware update soon, their phone app is not great, but not bothered. For the filter for the X100v to WP it use nisi and the Fuji lens cap fits on a treat.

I recently bought a X-T1 in mint Like new condition for 270 €. Paired with the magic 35 1.4 for another 300 € . This combination is unbelievable. The XTrans 2 sensor is the simple the best in the line up . Last week i sold the XT5 …..

didn't know fuji had autofocus

I’m happy that UA-camrs are complaining and hating on Fuji now. Hopefully the price can go back to normal soon lol 😅

Losing not loosing

My x-t1 won't turn on and I replaced the battery. I am not sure if it's worth repairing.

1. Older Fuji cameras are just better. Period. Photo centric, well built, and had character. 2. We need a X80 and X40 not vlogging cameras. 3. Vlogging cameras are dumb. Just use your phone and good lighting. Real videographers use dedicated video cameras.

This is why I’ve moved away from the Gen 5 Fujifilm cameras. I had the XT5 and the XH2s and I sold them for the XT3 and XE4. I’d rather know the limitations and handle them rather than the infinite amount of variables that come with “ai” processing.

I think the odds are severely stacked against the small manufacturers. Doing a camera is not about a box with nice buttons. It is high tech. Canon and Sony sell something like 90% of all cameras. So I think we are all the poorer for that, but that is the reality. Fuji film styles etc are all firmware gimmickery. What matters is AF performance and sensor performance in RAW. I have Canon L lenses from 30 years ago that work better than ever on my R7. I dont care about weather sealing BS. I shoot wildlife and I have never had a lens or body die on me despite most being not weather sealed. I am just not a moron, thats all. Fuji fans are what puts me off Fuji. Fuji is not a massive selling brand. They are fourth, behind Nikon. They are growing slowly, but they are not by any means the best or the biggest. They sell what makes sense - i.e. what makes profit. And development costs a huge amount. Everybody who went on about how bad Canon is are now proved to have been idiots - look at the sales. I think Fuji has a tough job to grow. They need to make a camera from a Sony sensor and make it unique to the tastes of a cult club who thinks the camera body determines how the colour comes out.

I understand your frustrations, i don't like how the menu system in the 5th gen cameras save every single setting when inputting a recipe, photometry, peaking, etc etc, the 4th gen was much more user friendly in that regard. Subject detection settings are convoluted as well but at least the XT5 doesn't have a terrible flippy screen like the Nikon ZF does, i couldn't use a camera that has that. At least Fuji allows 3rd party manufacturers onto the mount. But yes the XH line and GFX line seem to be priority now, but where the hell is the XPro 4?

i miss their kaizen days

I shoot Canon, and I've come to the conclusion that all camera companies don't want us shooters to be happy. If we are happy, then we won't upgrade, and then Fuji will go out of business. Solution: Get the best Fuji camera (or any other brand) that does most of what you want, and just stick with it till it breaks. I'm still using an six year old Canon M50, and a 6D mk1 from 2014. I don't even look at any new Canon stuff anymore…

Yes Paul you are an old sour grape 😂 a lot of weight falling on this next firmware update. But honestly they have only been at for a decade. At least us xs20 user's still got our new battery 😊

Fuji has lost its way. I don't believe we're going to get this AF issue resolved in this generation of cameras.

You are absolutely bang on correct. My biggest problem with Fuji is the AF, its terrible. They arent going to admit problems. Just look at what they are doing in the UK with the post masters!

My recommendations: Photography: Fujifilm XT30II: geni.us/cDSGRT5 Ricoh GRIIIX geni.us/XQvvSU Lumix GX80/85 geni.us/V9PS82x Lumix G9II geni.us/EFXVS Sony A7III geni.us/7D1o Vlogging: DJI Pocket 3: geni.us/JzqF8 Videography Fujifilm XT4 geni.us/frvgcc Sony ZV1-F geni.us/zTmoAi Sony A7SIII geni.us/iivbT Lumix S5IIX geni.us/E36xh Fuji’s I won’t recommend Anything with an X5 Processor…

T make a long story short, Fuji autofocus sucks. But, hey, we knew that already.
