LCD attachment on the Leica D-LUX Typ 109

The LCD screen on the Leica D-LUX (Typ 109) is fixed to the body. This solid attachment means that the connection between camera body and rear screen is very sturdy and the LCD is less likely to be damaged, for example, during a camera tumble than a hinged design. On the other hand, the fixed screen design does not make it possible to articulate the LCD for better visibility during odd-angle shots.

In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Leica D-LUX Typ 109 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 921,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.

As can be seen from the rear-side image, the 3.0-inch LCD occupies a large part of the backside of the camera. For comparison, the diagonal on a standard credit card measures 4 inches.
