What is the year of manufacture of the currently available Leica D Lux 5 ?
48863
All I can readily recall is that I bought mine in May 2011. I know this is not an answer to your specific question, but it is the best I can do.

D-LUX 5 is still listed on the Leica website as a current model. I suggest that unless it is offered to you much cheaper than D-LUX 6, the later model offers useful improvements (faster lens for example) for very little additional cost.

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 do not know when this model was released - suggest checking with a camera retailer or some legacy reviews such as PC Magazine.I will say this is an awesome camera - lightweight for easy travel and handling when hands are full. The video feature is great and saves taking a second video camera when there is a need to travel light. It has great resolution and is small so shooting in tight places is possible. The ring flash and close up features are also very useful in my work.

It does not say leica, so it probably is not. It is an excellent lens though.

This camera is made in Japan by Panasonic. It is branded Leica but basically a Panasonic DMC LX7K. All specs are the same, the body is almost a clone. The major difference is the superior finish and material feel of the Leica, the Leica name, and the software suite which is more extensive. I bought the Leica because I wanted the Leica name and software but bought the optional Panasonic branded electronic rangefinder eye piece. Save over $100 from the exact same piece with the Leica name on it. Ether way, whether you go whole hog for the Leica or save money with the Panasonic, its a terrific camera with an exquisite lens.

Canon PowerShot SD780IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.5-inch LCD (Black)I just received mine on 10 May 2010 and it says Made in Japan on the back of the box.

You are very right. It is not good for Leica brand...Either Leica doesn't care about its customers or there must be something wrong with its development/manufacturing...

I don't think it matters. This is quite an old design The processing time is rather slow so anything faster than 45mb/s is probably wasted but I've not tried. The full manual is available as a download on the Leica Site.

I only know that the description says that the camera is a 5mp. Here's what the description: Front: 1.2 MP, 720p HD Rear: 5.0 MP AF, iSight with Five Element Lens, Hybrid IR filter, video stabilization, face detection, /2.4 aperture It takes very nice quality photos and videos for what it is. It isn't going to compete with Nikon, Pentax, Canon, etc. but I'm happy with the quality. The manufacturer is Foxconn, which is in China. I have no idea where all the components are made. I hope this information is helpful.

My familiarity is with a Leica D-Lux-5. Sorry, but I have no knowledge about a V-Lux-1. Suggest you contact Leica.com and pose your question to them.

It is actually manufactured by Nikon, but I truly don't know if it was the first or not. It is a very fine piece of work... well made to be sure! I hope this helps a bit.Cheers mate!

I believe that it can be done only at the time of purchase thru Amazon. That type of warranty is not from Leica though.
