Why would the D-Lux 5 sell for more than the D-Lux -6?? Is there something I don't know??

I think most of the listings for the D-Lux 5 are just obsolete Internet links. But I agree with the others that the D-Lux 5 is a superb, reliable camera that delivers really exceptional results.

Can't answer because I don't have a DLux6, but I have a DLux 5s. This is a near perfect camera. The photos are amazingly sharp and balance dright out of the camera. You get great pictures without really trying, but if you work at it, they are hard to distinguish between a big SLR. The camera is great for low light and for close ups. It's also small and has a great feel in your hands.

Dunno I have a Dlux 5 and it is an excellent camera.That being said I recently purchased a Sony RX100 and it is FANTASTIC.

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.

D-Lux 6 is a CMOS sensor. CCD is much more lifelike, and more treasured among Leica crowd.

I have a D-LUX 4, it went dead. All attempts (at least 3) to contact Leica USA for service have not been returned. Admittedly, these have been via email (not phone) The D-LUX worked well, but did not wear well - screws fell off, the plastic case got easily dented. I would not put it above some of the high end small offerings from Canon and Nikon. In fact, the other way around - the canons have metal cases and everthiung but the lens is superior.

This is obviously NOT the spotlights that I ordered! Mine were $27.99 each. Thanks to Amazon, I was able to look back at my original order, and I can tell you that we are not talking about the same spotlights. $219.00? That sounds like something the Pentagon would buy!!! Try again--because something doesn't sound right here. I hope you find the spotlights you really need. My $27.99 spotlights work just fine.

I guess what I meant was, how do they compare based on specs? Specifically, what is the wattage, lumens, coverage by SQFT, & penetration of the JD lighting system? I'm just about ready to hit "Add to Cart" and the only thing stopping me is the price difference.

I think it is because Amazon lumps all of the vendors who sell D50's into one category. Some sell it with XP and some with W7. I purchased this and got W7, which is what I wanted. You should check (if possible) with the individual seller first.

weird. I paid $6 for each of mine but LED are always higher price. there is also Tmart.com. try that one.

I noticed the same thing. I think there is one vendor that is selling the G7 over $900. If you delve further into the Amazon system you will find that the G7 actually sells about $40 less than the newer model when you calculate shipping.

Other sites might sell for cheaper. You just have to look a little then but even on Amazon the used ones can be more expensive than the new ones, as it depends on the seller.

I would contact lux customer service and ask. If you read my review, mine kept reading "LLL" and after contacting the company I found out it was bad. Their customer service was excellent when I contacted them. Give it a try.

Ok I compared it like you did. I have the L6 and am very pleased with all of the operations. I even went to Panasonic site http://catalog2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ModelDetail?storeId=11201&catalogId=13051&itemId=450713&catGroupId=119508&surfModel=FV-11VQL5&displayTab=F and looked at the two. The L5 has ONE lamp, the L6 has TWO according to Panasonic's site. Beyond that Bharat, I also cannot find any difference. Buy the cheaper one and you will be happy with it. I have many Panasonic electronics and have been more than pleased with everything they make. I put mine on a triple switch. But if you have a dark bathroom, I would hardwire (permanently wire) the nightlight so that it always illuminates. Its so little power to run it. The fan and light combination is just a major win.

I have no idea--it must be a different seller? I am not sure how this works, so can't tell you--I have always just gone with the lower price--sorry I am no help!

Chris it appears that they are from different sellers. This probably accounts for the price difference.

good question--i own both of them and i've got to say the d-lux6 is the better camera. no idea why the 5 is more. after two full years of heavy use, my 5 started getting pretty buggy on me--i have not had any issues like that with the 6 (nor did i have them with the 4 that i used heavily for two years before the 5). ***i did just read that leica has discontinued the 6, to allegedly be replaced by a d-lux7 later in the fall. just FYI!***

I bought 2 the summer of 2013 and paid $320 for both. Sometimes multiple sellers offer the same product for varying prices. Search amazons site and compare prices. It's amazing sometimes the difference in pricing for the same item.

Don: I have owned 3 Leicas and each purchase was the newer upgrade model to the previous one. If Leica is discontinuing this model, I believe they already have a newer upgrade in production. The good news is that the discontinued V-Lux 40 should decrease in price, and you may be able to purchase one at a great deal. Your other option is to wait until Leica releases the new model. Either way, you can't go wrong in purchasing a Leica. I have never had a problem with any of them. Good luck shopping.

Thanks for the info, Donald.I'm still amazed at how the price fluxuates on these sets. The 52XBR6 currently sells on the Dell site for $3000, whereas other places online have it for less than $2300. That's a huge difference. And you never know what the price is going to be at Amazon. It goes up or down $200 or less every day.I'm happy with the price I paid for the set. If it goes down $200 in the next few days I won't cry a river. I could have paid much more a couple months ago.

the 1999 price was from 6th Ave and maybe also from Amazon itself, I noticed this as well. The other sellers had it marked higher, so when 6th ave and or amazon sold out the only ones available were higher. (Amazon did not change the price).

Well drop in the price is a very good indicative that something was wrong with and others models of compact Lumix. I bought another one, just because I drop the camera and was broken, and the SAME dust problem!!
