|
|
As well as being compared against other pro digicams, the Leica D-LUX 4 is also often compared to boutiques, mirrorless, entry-level DSLRs, travel zooms and super zooms. The Leica D-LUX 4's top rivals come from Leica (such as the D-LUX 5 and the D-LUX 3) and Panasonic (such as the Lumix DMC-LX5 and the Lumix DMC-LX3)
