Impression
The Leica C compact camera series has a simple appearance without the original Panasonic’s somewhat conspicuous design one-liners, where the usual red badge asserts the camera’s presence.
The C-Lux 3 is 25mm on the wide-angle side, which is wide enough for the wide-angle end of a compact camera, and 125mm on the telephoto side is also an adequate focal length for normal use.
I used to use a LEICA C, but rarely zoomed in to 200mm for general snapshots.
The body is thinner than the C-LUX1 and C-LUX2, making it even more portable.
The glossy white body, available only on the C-LUX3, is also very stylish.
The C-LUX3’s body is more compact than the D-LUX series, which I think is a beautiful feature of the C-LUX series as a whole.
Although the sensor is small, it has 10 megapixels, so you can still get photos that are about the same size as those from an ordinary smartphone.
As for the battery, there are plenty of compatible batteries on the market due to the many models that use different model numbers.
