My first digital camera was a Leica Digilux 1. Loved that camera. Took it all over Europe and got some wonderful pictures. Later, I tried Nikons, Olympus and Lumix cameras but nothing ever satisfied. Now, I've come full circle with the 109. I love this camera.

Small, lightweight camera. The autofocus doesn't always work with me. Haven't used the viewfinder once. Otherwise, works very nicely. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 works just as well, this Leica is just an "updated" version. Though, for the price I prefer the Panasonic.

As a long time DSLR user, I have quickly become accustomed to, and really like, the D-109's smaller size, considerably reduced heft and agility that comes with a smaller, lighter camera. Pictures are really sharp and close-up shots have a beautifully shallow depth of field.

Awesome little camera. So many options, very confusing and complicated, it will take awhile to learn. I had a Leica film camera that I loved. Welcome to the 21st century.

After owning D-Lux 3, 4 and 5, I was hoping, like many others, for D-Lux 6 to have a 1" sensor as it was being rumored so many times. But I was very disappointed when DL 6 was announced with the same small sensor; and, as I did not find much improvement from DL5, I did not upgrade to "6"!

Love this camera. First off I'm a point and shoot type of person now, however I've owned SLR's and numerous lenses. What I truly appereciate is the lense (1.7) on this thing. No flash needed so far and it's been 3 months. Pictures are perfect 95% of the time the remaining 5% is user error.

I did not give this a 5 star as it is over priced for what you get. The fact that it may be built to last twenty years does not matter in an area where the technology changes so fast. I did not "need" this camera but bought it as a treat for myself.

My new D109 replaces my year older D6. The D6 was fun and fabulous as a compact, low light, perfect exposure wonder, but my new 109 is far superior. The fact that my new compact gives me full creative control, is twice as good at hand held low light situations, and has a larger sensor makes this my...

I own the D-Lux 109 for more than half a year and I'm still deeply impressed about the IQ. It's fast lense and the quick response together with the usability near a DSLR is a joy to use.

August 2015 Did not realize this was an "International model", which means no warranty. You are on your own if you ever need repairs to this camera. Have had it for only a few days, it appears to be a very fine camera, with many features I have not yet explored.
