As well as being compared against other pro digicams, the Leica D-Lux 6 is also often compared to boutiques, mirrorless, travel zooms, compacts and entry-level DSLRs. The Leica D-Lux 6's top rivals come from Panasonic (such as the Lumix DC-GX9 and the Lumix DMC-LX7) and Leica (such as the D-Lux (Typ 109) and the D-Lux 7)
Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to other pro digicam competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/1.4 vs f/2), has a slightly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm), has a slightly higher resolution screen (920k dots vs 460k dots), has a CMOS-family sensor (CMOS vs CCD) and has a slightly longer battery life (330 shots vs 250 shots).
However, on average it takes slightly lower resolution photos (10 MP vs 20 MP), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (2 fps vs 8 fps) and doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs digital).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to boutique competitors include: it has a slightly wider aperture (f/1.4 vs f/2.8), has way more more zoom (3.8x vs 3.1x), has a much wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm), has better image stabilization (lens vs none) and is thinner (1.8" vs 2.5").
However, on average it takes slightly lower resolution photos (10 MP vs 16.8 MP), doesn't have a touch screen, doesn't shoot as fast continuously (2 fps vs 10 fps), has a slightly smaller sensor (1/1.8" 7.44x5.58mm vs full frame 36x24mm) and is older (september 2012 vs january 2016).

Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to mirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors include: it has better image stabilization (lens vs sensor shift), is slightly smaller (mid size (111×68×46 mm) vs prosumer size (128×89×74 mm)), is thinner (1.8" vs 2.9"), is slightly lighter (298 g vs 505 g) and slightly longer exposures (60 seconds vs 30 seconds).
However, on average it has a slightly smaller screen (3" vs 3.2"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (920k dots vs 1,240k dots), doesn't have a viewfinder (none vs digital), takes significantly lower resolution photos (10 MP vs 24 MP) and slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs 51,200 ISO).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to travel zoom competitors include: it has a much wider aperture (f/1.4 vs f/3.3), supports an external flash, has a faster max shutter speed (1/4000 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second) and slightly longer exposures (60 seconds vs 30 seconds).
However, on average it doesn't have a built-in GPS, takes slightly lower resolution photos (10 MP vs 20 MP), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (6,400 ISO vs 25,600 ISO), doesn't have a touch screen and doesn't shoot as fast continuously (2 fps vs 24 fps).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to compact competitors include: it has a much wider aperture (f/1.4 vs f/3.5), has a slightly wider wide angle lens (24 mm vs 28 mm), has a slightly larger screen (3" vs 2.5"), has a much higher resolution screen (920k dots vs 230k dots) and has better image stabilization (lens vs digital).
However, on average it is much larger (mid size (111×68×46 mm) vs super compact (96×52×22 mm)), is thicker (1.8" vs 0.9"), is much heavier (298 g vs 146 g) and is not waterproof.
Generally, some of the advantages of the Leica D-Lux 6 compared to entry-level DSLR competitors include: it has image stabilization (lens vs none), is newer (september 2012 vs september 2010), is much smaller (mid size (111×68×46 mm) vs professional size (132×105×77 mm)), is thinner (1.8" vs 3") and is significantly lighter (298 g vs 780 g).
However, on average it has a slightly smaller screen (3" vs 3.2"), has a slightly lower resolution screen (920k dots vs 1,037k dots), takes much lower resolution photos (10 MP vs 24 MP), doesn't shoot as fast continuously (2 fps vs 6 fps) and has much more startup delay (750 ms vs 400 ms).
