Does this model come with the Leica lens as in Europe?

I have no idea. The whole camera was made in Japan, and there is no indication that the lens was made in another place. I suggest you call and ask. Their number in the US: 800-211-7262.

I don't know the lens brand. I don't think it is leica. However I can tell you that the camcorder has a great image quality.

I bought my unit here on amazon. Just like the other posters the lens in not marked with any specific mfg logo. The instruction manual in the specification section does not mention the mfg of the lens either. We have to remember that we are not buying this for perfect still photos. We are buying this for its high definition video, auto focus, and image stabilization. This is my third video recorder and it is truly amazing.

It is supposed to have a Leica lens but I do not see the word Leica anywhere on the housing or on the edge of the lens. I do not see any other name that refers to the lens.

I looked the camera up and down and checked the instructions and box, but there is no indication what the lens make is. I still will say the image is great, no matter who made the lens.

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

Yes, mine did. I would think that they all do. They are simply the kit lens that they sold the camera and not the lens, so then they reboxed the lens and sold separately. Therefore it has a warranty. It is from a USA Canon.

I think it really straddles both formats very well. It is obviously a fixed lens. However, there are many modes with which to go 'manual' or auto. I am thoroughly enjoying this camera. I have found the picture quality to be outstanding. I am big fan of Leica lens and this one is great.

Purchased two Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW from Alptop and they were both Chinese versions in brown box. Amazon took them back and claimed it was their fault because they fulfilled the order. I'm not so sure about that. I purchased from CondorD and Nelly's and they were both the English version, in retail packaging (red and white box). I contacted CondorD by email before I purchased and they confirmed that they only sell the English version. (No listing at the moment for this camera)

I had to return the bundle I purchased from this vendor. It does come with all it shows, but it is a grey market camera which is NOT advertised. This means the camera was not manufactured to be purchased in the United States. The one I received was intended to be purchased by consumers in Europe. What this means to you is that you will get a camera for less money that Nikon will NOT warranty. Let me repeat this... if anything goes wrong with the camera or Nikon lenses, no one will touch them; you are on your own. I repurchased a similar kit on Amazon through Adorama. They had the best price for a kit that comes with all US warranties. Happy shopping.

The standard lens that comes with the camera is not a Leica. This is a 4/3 format camera, which means that lenses are interchangeable, as with DSLR cameras, and there are Leica lenses that come in the 4/3 format, that will work with this camera. Buying good lenses in this format is a great investment. They will improve the photographs that you take with this camera, and if one decides to upgrade, say to the Olympus OMD range of camera, the investment continues to pay off with great photos on that camera. If it's not your intention to get additional lenses, then there are better choices than this camera. The standard lens that comes with the camera is not a Leica.

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.

No, but you can get an identical third party one for about $5 by searching amazon and/or eBay. You can't beat this lense for the $. Mine was better than expected at 300mm.

The lens I purchased from Amazon was the US version. I don't think Amazon sells any grey market lenses.

Yes it does. Being a macro lens and if long travel (eg min to max focus) it is not super fast.It is also quite slow on the EM5, but good on the EM2 and normal E-series DLSRs

There is a viewfinder but it's electronic, it is a nice one at it. The kit lens is Panasonic, and it performs well, all Leica lenses in m4/3 are Panasonic made under license

Yes, it does. I have used it in France and Italy and am very happy with the product.

Yes we have it, The problem or not is that we made a mistake . In this moment if you buy a GXV3672_FHD (ASIN: B00BREOSSI) from A1compras you will receive a GXV3672_FHD_36 (it comes with 3.6 mm lens). We sent by error 8 of this cameras to Amazon Warehouse instead the GXV3672_FHD. Only are 7 available at this moment 03/18/2014.

The one I have is the retail version, but the first one I got through mail-order dealer was the import version, which I sent back. You can tell by the serial number on the box. Check Ken Rockwell review on-line for which explains the ser. no. codes. I wouldn't buy a new one without Nikon warranty support for U.S.

No. It's valid only in US, unless you buy any other plan. But the Canon warranty is valid only in US. If you are planning to use this in EU most of the time, you can consider buying it there.

It isn't. The "equivalent" to the LX100 is the new D-Lux Type 109--the comparable model to the D-Lux 6 is the DMX-LX7.I say "equivalent" in quotes, because the equivalency is somewhat false--the Leicas have a superior build, better materials, a cleaner design, Leica Glass made in Germany (as opposed the Panasonic's Japanese glass with Leica "Specs"), and a copy of Lightroom. Thanks for looking!

No, it has US maps only. If you want Europe maps you will need to buy them separately.It looks like that in US this model is named "VIA 1400M" and Europe it has name "Start 20"
