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).
