As the D-Lux 4 before it, the Leica D-Lux 5 is the result of a partnership with Japanese electronics giant Panasonic Corp. of consumption of consumer digital cameras Leica tend to reflect the release of Panasonic and Leica D Lux-5 follows this trend as the Panasonic LX5 rebadging with the Leica version after the announcement of the time, about two months after the Panasonic model. The Panasonic LX5 has been in retail stores in the United States since the end of August and Leica equivalent, required to follow in October 2010.

It is not integrated in the viewfinder, but an optional external optical viewfinder 5 D-Lux brand.

The Leica D-LUX 5 The lens has a maximum aperture ranging from f/2.0 af/3.3 light on the zoom range.
The Leica D-LUX 5 is a 23-point autofocus system, which is also a single point "high speed" focusing mode. As with many digital cameras these days, there is also a function of facial recognition. Once detected, the camera can then use this information to adjust the focus and appropriate exposure to capture your subjects' faces. The Leica D-LUX 5 is an implementation of autofocus tracking, which can track a moving subject around the structure to continue to update autofocus as required.
Usually in the range 80-3200 ISO sensitivity equivalents, with the possibility to extend up to 12,800 ISO mixed with reduced resolution, with pixels. Shutter speeds from 1 / 4000 to 60 seconds are possible, controlled automatically or manually. The Leica D-LUX 5 uses evaluative metering, center-weighted and spot metering modes also on offer. There are seven white balance settings for Auto, including two manual modes and four fixed presets. A wide choice of 24 scene modes, users can customize the look of their images, without understanding the subtleties of shutter speed and aperture. In addition to these, for the types of development are both manual and aperture priority modes priority / shutter, the LEICA D-LUX fifth
A five mode flash provides red-eye reduction and slow sync functions. As well as RAW and JPEG images, the Leica D-LUX 5 can record video with audio high definition resolutions up to 1280 x 720 pixels. For the full HD resolution, are the movies at 30 frames per second in QuickTime Motion JPEG format, AVCHD Lite 60p or 30p video data collected by the sensor. Below this resolution, the speed is 30 fps Motion JPEG and QuickTime is available. The Leica D-LUX 5 stores its images and movies on Secure Digital or MultiMedia, including the latest SDHC and SDXC. There is also a useful 40MB of internal memory. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 High-Speed, standard definition video output NTSC / PAL and HD Mini Type C HDMI video output (although the cable is an optional extra for this). Power comes from a property lithium-ion battery is good for 400 shots on a single charge based on CIPA standard tests evaluated.
Instead of the bundled software of Panasonic, the PHOTOfunSTUDIO 5.0 HD Edition SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.1 SE is one opted for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Leica.
The price for the Leica D-Lux 5 is set at about $ 800, $ 300 more than Panasonic LX5.
