Leica D-Lux 7 with Leica C-Lux Overview


Let's compare C-Lux with D-Lux 7. Both cameras produced Leica. These models are included in the Large Sensor Compact cameras. Both of these models were released in 2018. This means that differences will go a long way. Let's take a closer look.
The sensor resolution of C-Lux is greater than that of D-Lux 7. However, the difference of 3 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (D-Lux 7), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Leica D-Lux 7, the maximum ISO is greater by 12800. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Both cameras have a electronic viewfinder. Viewfinder D-Lux 7 has a higher resolution of 2760k dots, C-Lux has a resolution of 2330k dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica C-Lux has 11.0 fps continuous shooting. Leica C-Lux has 11.0 fps continuous shooting.
