Leica V-Lux Typ 114 Most of you are familiar with bridge cameras – they’re not quite DSLRs but still more superior to point-and-shoots. They’re also more affordable than owning high-end professional shooters that come with a variety of lenses. Our only camera review this month is the one and only Leica V-Lux Typ 114. A […]

Leica V-Lux 1
3.8

A capable, but pricey, prestige long-zoom digicam with some worthwhile features for digital photographers.Essentially a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 in Leica livery, the V-Lux 1 has taken just over a year to reach us. In that time, Panasonic has added two new models to its FZ line-up so the V-Lux 1 looks dated in comparison. Fortunately, it still has some worthwhile features for today's digital photographers, including a reasonably large 10-megapixel imager and a fast, optically stabilised 12x zoom lens. Raw file capture is also provided but, despite Leica's use of DNG-RAW in its other cameras, the V-Lux 1 appears to use the same file format as the FZ50.

The highly versatile Leica V-Lux 2 superzoom is enjoyable to use and capable of capturing some fantastic shots. But this camera is basically the same as a Panasonic model that's almost half the price.
