Leica V-Lux 4 Reviews

Imaging-resource reviews the Leica V-Lux 4 and writes;
“The V-LUX 4′s video capabilities look impressive, especially given that powerful, bright, stabilized lens. It’s possible to record AVCHD movie clips at up to 60p frame rate at Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) or HD (1,280 x 720) resolution, and that’s using 60 frames per second sensor data. You can also opt for MPEG-4 capture at either resolution, as well as at VGA (640 x 480).”

Leica VLUX 4 Camera Review
“I think it is astounding to be able to buy a Leica camera for a hair under $800.00. I feel it will be my only camera soon. I am able to shoot quality images with much less weight. It is almost too good to be true. The camera is well worth the money!” – By Fred Sgrosso

Amazing, f/2.8 aperture all the way up to 600mm
“This is the camera Nikon and Canon does not want you to know about it. Aperture f/2.8 all the way from 24mm up to 600mm, and no matter how long you will be “amazoning”, you will not assemble camera with 2.8 aperture 600mm lens under $1,000. As bonus you will get pictures with brilliant colors that only Leica can make.” – By Kevin T. Duraj
