PhotographyReview - 5/3/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.5 megapixel digital SLR Leica Digilux 3 and here writes, “The Leica Digilux 3 is a superbly built, technologically advanced, single-lens reflex camera with anti-shake technology, auto focus, and a full range of exposure controls. Its sharp, image-stabilized, zoom lens, live preview functions, integrated flash, and bright LCD display offer real photographic benefits. The Digilux 3 is a capable camera for sports, macro photography, portraits, and candid photos. The camera’s Four Thirds lens mount makes it more versatile than previous Digilux models, allowing photographers to use high quality wide angle and telephoto lenses from Olympus and Sigma for macro and sports photography. Low light picture taking is aided by the Leica 14-50mm lens’s MEGA O.I.S. image stabilization. The Digilux 3 provides just the right amount of manual control while still offering the flexibility of auto focus and auto exposure.”
PhotoReview - 3/30/2007 - has reviewed the the 7.5 megapixel digital SLR Leica Digilux 3 and here is their conclusion - “Performance-wise there’s a lot to like about the Digimax 3 - especially if you’re keen on portraiture. The subtle colours and tonality provide a completely different look to shots from most other cameras. However, it’s a pity Leica didn’t seek some design advice from Olympus instead of Panasonic. The result may have been a camera that was more comfortable to use - without compromising on the nice traditional touches that make the Digilux 3 (and its Panasonic cousin) so engaging.”
DigitalCameraReview - 12/21/2006 - has reviewed the the 7.5 megapixel digital SLR Leica Digilux 3 and here is their conclusion - “Overall I am very impressed with this camera. The image quality is excellent and the camera works well. As far as lenses go this is by far the best in class (kit lenses) I also liked the ergonomics/styling of the camera for the most part. I like the retro controls, so much more fun than pushing buttons and navigating menus. So much more Leica, gives it a somewhat mechanical feel which I love. However I will also admit that it was a bit heavy/bulky requiring two hands to operate and even then could be tiring to use for prolonged periods but probably partly because of this, it’s built like a tank! This is the SLR for Leica fans or for anyone wanting top of the line equipment the only place this camera falls short is battery life (somewhat) lens choices (just the kit thus far) and price. And to be picky the noise could be improved. However if I had to choose between this and a Canon or Nikon I would strive to get the Leica. (or its Panasonic sibling for less $$)”

LEICA DIGILUX 3 The digital system camera with traditional operating concept for individualists
Leica Camera AG, Solms is exhibiting the new LEICA DIGILUX 3 at photokina in Cologne (26th September to 1st October 2006). The LEICA DIGILUX 3 is the first purely digital Leica mirror reflex system camera with exchangeable lenses, thereby opening up a third variety of free-standing camera system under the Leica name. As the first model of the new Leica D system, the LEICA DIGILUX 3 is fitted with a bayonet lens to the FourThirds Standard, the open systems standard for digital mirror reflex cameras. Together with the high-performance LEICA D VARIO–ELMARIT 2.8-3.5/14-50 mm ASPH exchangeable lens with a focal length range of 28 to 100 millimetres for the small picture system, this offers the photographer many possibilities for composition of individual pictures.
