Leitz Digilux 3

The Digilux 3 is a Four Thirds system digital SLR introduced in 2006, developed in partnership with Panasonic and sharing its core platform with the Lumix DMC-L1. It was positioned at the premium end of the early Four Thirds market, with a body styled around traditional shutter-speed and aperture controls rather than mode dials.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Digilux 3 have sat in a narrow £200–£260 band, with a median around £230 from the limited results recorded. Today the camera trades as a niche collector's digital rather than a working tool, and saleroom values are condition-sensitive — examples sold with the matched Leica D Vario-Elmarit kit lens tend to be worth materially more than body-only lots, so what one sells for depends heavily on what is in the box.
