Leica D-Lux 8 Specs LEAKED: The APS-C Competitor to Fujifilm X100VI Coming May/June (Anonymous Source)

I have just received a rumor from an anonymous source (who used a nickname, thanks) regarding the Fujifilm X100VI competitor that is coming, the Leica D-Lux 7 successor.

This comes from an anonymous source, so take it with a grain of salt. But you know, even trusted sources started as anonymous or new sources, and now they are 100% solid companions when it comes to Fujifilm rumors. So let’s see how the journey of this source will be :).

So, here are the specs I have been told:

  • the name will be Leica D-Lux 8
  • 24 mp APS-C sensor
  • zoom lens
  • announcement around May / June
  • priced around 1,600 €

Keep in mind that the Leica D-Lux 8 is made with Panasonic hardware. In fact, Panasonic has the Leica D-Lux 7 clone on the market, the Panasonic Lumix LX100II.

Leica D-Lux 7II: The Fujifilm X100VI Competitor is Coming

And suddenly, the rumors about fixed lens cameras coming from other brands are hitting the internet.

And I believe them all.

I believe them all, because given the immense success of the Fujifilm X100V first and now of the Fujifilm X100VI, it was just a matter of time until other brands would expand, refresh (or even start) their fixed lens camera offerings.

The first one to come should be the Leica D-Lux 7 successor.

The Leica D-Lux 7 was launched back in 2018 featuring a 17 Megapixel Four Thirds sensor with a fixed 24-75mm f/1.7-2.7 lens. We don’t have rumors about its specs yet, but Mirrorlessrumors speculates (not rumor) that it will get a bigger APS-C sensor and feature a fixed lens instead of a zoom. But that’s not a rumor, only a guess.

The D-Lux 7 was co-developed with Panasonic which had their own version named Lumix LX100II.
