Unsurprisingly, the GFX100RF from Fujifilm achieves the best image quality by a wide margin. As the medium format camera loses points in terms of features and speed, the smaller Fuji X100VI remains the best compact camera overall according to our evaluation procedure. Although the new Canon Power-Shot cannot compete with the more expensive Fui cameras in terms of image quality, it is very fast and...

- Quiet background noise in videos
The Leica D-Lux 8 is a stylish but expensive compact camera. Its strengths include the fast zoom, the large viewfinder and the high image quality for photos. The D-Lux 8 is a little weaker when it comes to action shots and videos; Sony's RX series models such as the Cyber-shot RX100 VII offer more speed and better sound.
Smartphone cameras have become better and better in recent years, but they cannot match the image quality of high-quality compact cameras and system cameras. The latter also score points with folding monitors, electronic viewfinders, lots of buttons and dials for quick manual adjustments and interchangeable lenses...
Leica's D-Lux 8 leaves a mixed result in the test. The camera is stylish and makes a high-quality impression. However, the image sensor and autofocus remain at the level of the LX100 II from 2018 and cannot keep up with the best cameras tested. The test victory goes to the Fujifilm X100VI, which is the only camera that is technically completely up to date...
Very good90/100
- The small Leica gets a lot out of its Micro Four Thirds sensor. The operating concept is unusual, but well thought-out and quickly grasped with a little practice. The mini flash included in the scope of delivery is practical for brightening up indoor shots.
- The D-Lux 8 lacks modern multimedia functions that are now standard on current cameras, for example it cannot be used as a webcam. The fixed LC display is neither foldable nor rotatable and is therefore no longer up to date.
Leica has continued the D-Lux series very successfully. The eighth version of the model series scores with convincing photo and video quality. As expected, the workmanship earns top marks and provides haptic pleasure. Only the price of the Leica D-Lux 8 could put users off, as mirrorless system cameras including a good kit lens are also available for just under €1,600...
