The LX100 II is still close enough to the new Leica version I would think Panasonic thinks. I mean, other than a new EVF, the new Leica version is simply an aesthetic redesign of an old camera.
The D-Lux 8 innards are the same as the LX100II. The only real difference of the D-Lux 8 is the presence of an OLED EVF, otherwise the output and performance would be the exact same as the LX100II / D-Lux 7
Thanks guys, good to know. With the D-Lux/ LX100 mirroring model for model, I just thought there would be a newer LX100. I’m currently shooting the OM TG7 as my grab and go compact, comparable image quality and more extensive specialty modes, but sometimes miss the manual controls of the LX 100 I had….and sold, drat!
My mother wanted to get into photography, and I thought the LX100 would be a pretty good camera to start with.
If you're a fan of the move Airplane ! then read the book; Surely You Can't Be Serious. It's a series of interviews of the ZAZ crew and how the movie came to be. Some great back stories in there.I am serious
Like you, I guess I am serious enough to care about the images I create. And I've been published many times, as well. I also shoot events as a volunteer, and have a couple coming up this fall. For my shooting, well, I need a "real" camera. Cell phones don't cut it for surfing. ;-)

That image is only 2mp. It's barely usable for anything but tiny prints. I would think that for surfing you would need at least 200mm or more optical zoom.“Surfer” magazine, 2014 “Will tomorrow's best surf photos be taken with a phone?”Like you, I guess I am serious enough to care about the images I create.

The 2MP image shown here was not shot with a phone. It was a 26MP APS-C camera with a 500mm lens. We can be sure the detail is good in the full resolution version.That image is only 2mp.

Yes, it was the images in the article I was commenting on. My point being that you can make very compelling surfing images using an iPhone and a POV suited to the phone. You could argue that the limitation wrt focal length actually produces more compelling images (because it makes the photographer be with the surfer) than distant images using a long lensThe 2MP image shown here was not shot with a phone.

The images in the article are only fractions of a megapixel, so it's impossible to judge the quality of the details. Also, they were shot from in the water with short focal lengths.
The same kind of compelling images have been shot for decades with dedicated cameras made for use in water or equipped with watertight housings. That hasn't meant they were the best (whatever 'best' means) surf photos, though.

He's excellent in Airplane! along with the others. They had to work hard to convince Peter Graves to appear. He thought it would be a total flop so he took a small sum up front instead of a percentage. Huge mistake.I actually have the soundtrack on vinyl.

No, but it does call into question whether “Cell phones don't cut it for surfing” (which what my original response was to)
LOL, that's a stretch. I wouldn't accept that argument. What do you expect the photographer to do? Take his camera out on a boat or surfboard to be near the surfer? Looking at the size of the waves even a boat would be problematic.
And yet that’s what it appears they’ve done with the iPhone 5, and what I’ve seen the output of people doing using (film) Nikonos
