Leica D-Lux 7

£995, uk.leica-camera.com

Leica’s collaboration with Panasonic over the last few years has brought the high style and quality that comes with the iconic red dot to the masses. Take the D- Lux 7: technologically, it’s pretty much a Panasonic LX100 II, which makes it a very impressive mid-size camera.

Then you add the Leica icing on that Panasonic sponge: a more compact body, that beautiful stark Leica design, and (slightly less sexy but no less useful) a shiny new USB- C port. On top of its 17MP sensor, short but versatile 24-75mm lens (interchangeable), 4K video support, electronic viewfinder and Wi-Fi features, you’ve got one hell of a package. It’s especially suited to travel, thanks to that small frame and unobstrusive lens.

T3SA YS: Style icon, master of photography, svelte and clever… You’ll feel like all of these things with the D-Lux 7 in hand.
