Leica V-LUX 30 14.1 MP Review

absolutely this camera has 14.1-megapixel resolution; 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor, with 16x zoom lens; Leica DC Vario-Elmar 4.3 - 68.8mm f/3.3-5.9 ASPH, Integrated GPS, 3-inch LCD touch screen.

Value
I am truly impressed with the quality of the Leica V-Lux 30. I can use ISO up to 800 without to much noise level with great details for a camera this size and price (I compared it with M9 and EOS 5 MarkII). At the same time it is made easy to change settings around. Obviously the f stop range is very limited with is a clear shortcoming of compact cameras. HDMI filming is great even in low lighting. I could truly recommend this camera and guarantee you that will enjoy it. The camera is fine for beginners as well as a back up for more qualified photographers.
