Leica cameras are known for combining exquisite design language with exceptional performance, which come at a premium price. The D-Lux 7 007 Edition Camera UK price is £1750.00, which is £580 more than the standard D-Lux 7 black and D-Lux 7 silver cameras, which cost £1,170.00.

Exclusive D-Lux 7 007 Edition design features

Whilst the core camera features are identical to the original model, the unique design has been completely reimagined in celebration of James Bond 60th anniversary (1962-2022). This historic anniversary has inspired a host of activity, from a live Christies Bond auction which surpassed all expectations to this limited edition Leica camera release in 2023.

Classic James Bond design traits include:

  • A special camera body covering with diamond patterned texture
  • Automatic lens cap with iconic ‘gun barrel’ design
  • 007 logo engraved on the top plate
  • Edition number on the hot shoe
  • Unique leather shoulder holster
  • Hand grip with matching pattern
  • Special matching 007 packaging

Key D-Lux 7 007 camera features

The D-Lux 7 007 is a travel-friendly compact camera, which includes a 17 megapixel micro 4/3 sensor and built-in Leica zoom lens. The lens offers a versatile full-frame equivalent 24-75mm zoom range, with a bright f/1.7-2.8 variable aperture. This is perfect for capturing a wide range of subjects, from street photography to portraits, landscapes and travel, to video recording at up to 4K.

The aperture is bright enough for low light situations and the camera is also quick enough to keep up with fast-moving subjects, benefiting from 11fps burst shooting. Leica also added several new technologies to the seventh generation compact camera, including 4K photo and ‘post focus’ mode, which enables you to select different focus points after taking the shot.

Both of the EVF and LCD screens are bright and clear, and the D-Lux 7 007 Edition offers the same seamless control through the free LEICA FOTOS app, which is also available on Google Play here.
