The 3/info/digilux" target="_blank">Digilux 3 is a digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by 3/info/leica" target="_blank">Leica on 14 September 2006. The 3/info/digilux" target="_blank">Digilux 3 and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 are similar specification cameras, using the Four Thirds standard lens mount and featuring a 7.5 Megapixels live view N-MOS sensor, but the 3/info/digilux" target="_blank">Digilux 3 has modified firmware including DNG output. Both the Panasonic and 3/info/digilux" target="_blank">Digilux 3 cameras come standard with the same interchangeable 3/info/leica" target="_blank">Leica Elmarit 14–50 mm f/2.8–3.5 optically image-stabilized zoom lens. The 3/info/leica" target="_blank">Leica D system includes also the 3/info/leica" target="_blank">Leica Summilux 25 mm f/1.4 lens.
The two cameras share several unique features among dSLRs. One is the presence of film-camera type controls for optional control of both aperture and shutter speed. Reviews have noted the intuitive "feel" of the cameras.
Another is the built-in dual-position flash. With an initial actuation of the flash button, the flash pops up to a bounce-flash position, giving a more diffuse flash that is preferred by some photographers, especially for portrait photos. A second actuation of the button raises the flash to a forward-facing position for direct flash.
Some of the build features are inherited from the Olympus E-330, such as the eyepiece. Spare parts, such as the EP-7 eyecup from Olympus, can be used on the 3/info/digilux" target="_blank">Digilux 3.
The camera also includes a comprehensive software package Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® 4.0 and Quicktime movie player. Only 13,300 of these cameras were made, making it somewhat rare. (W x H x D without lens) - 145.8 x 86.9 x 80 mm Weight (camera body) - approx. 530 g. Designed by Achim Heine, Berlin.(3/info/leica" target="_blank">Leica), Electronics by Matsushita/Olympus
