I say how convenient that you can hand your camera to someone and they can pretty much capture images in focus with accurate colors. All this is conveniently made available with a simple dial. Then, if you are into landscape photography you no longer need to take multiple photographs and merge them on the computer to attain a 16:9 ratio. For example, you can opt to photograph in 1:1 frame and directly upload on one of the social platforms that accept only square format. I see D-Lux 5 not just as a point & shoot camera but more as a fine instrument for capturing images for specific purposes. This camera lets everyone capture good quality images. For those who can’t be bothered with learning aperture settings or depth of field explanations, I suppose it can be compared to a pistol at the turn of the 20th century in the west, with a gun everyone had an option to be able to protect himself or his family. Beyond that, a zoom function permits a close-up photograph to be captured without worrying about getting accurate focus because Leica D-Lux 5 does just about everything for you.įrom the perspective of functionality and ease of use, Leica D-Lux 5 is like a swiss army knife allowing multiple photographic choices to be at one’s disposal regardless of one’s knowledge of photography. Let me explain this further, for instance I can set the aperture or shutter speed as I please which allows me to have a great deal of control over the image composition.

For example, you can choose to shoot at aperture priority or manual mode just like like a full frame camera or opt to have preset choices for capturing images. Leica D-Lux 5 allows the photographer fully engage his or her by offering numerous settings and options depending on your circumstances. Other formats will include some form of cropping which is unavoidable because all cameras are designed to capture images in a single format only.Īs far as the weight is concerned, it is as light as a smartphone yet packed with options that no current smartphone offers or can offer at any given time in the next half a decade. I personally like the classic format for photographing because it allows the complete sensor to be used for capturing images. Then, there is the 4:3 or the classic 3:2 format for those who want to have a more familiar framing format, also, a cinematic format of 16:9 is available for those who wish to explore a different aspect ratio. For one, it can let you choose from different varieties of framing options, for example, you can opt to have 1:1 which is a square format for those who wish to post on Instagram. The best part of Leica D-Lux 5 is that it can do pretty amazing things. In fact, it fits right in the middle of my palm concealing it from the view of anyone. I love this little camera because it is so discreet that people hardly notice that you are holding one. While I was preparing to leave, I reached for my Leica D-Lux 5 which is a very compact point & shoot camera. Some time has passed since that conversation, then the other day, I was invited by a friend for breakfast at one of Montreal’s iconic establishments. I added that you can still do fantastic photography even if you are using a point & shoot camera. I told him that I use Leica’s because they give me greater freedom to create and compose images the way I want people to see them. Recently, a friend of mine pointed out that my photographers were outstanding not only because of my creative talent but also because I use the best photographic equipment.
