I have one that was used for a month long trip to Europe. I was very pleased with the quality of the pictures. The battery life was good. It has a reasonable zoom for street photos. As some have mentioned there are some Panasonic Lumix that are similar. Make sure it is a model with a Leica lens.

i know that there are a couple of models of Leica made like the japan cameras. But there are several models that are true Leicas that are made in Germany. The X2. Q2. Cl. TL2, the M-models and possibly some others that I cannot think of right off hand. Many unique features that are far too numerous to list here, but as an example the TL2 is the only camera I know of that will accept SD cards, but should you forget to bring a card or run out of space it has built in 30gb storage in addition to the SD card slot. The Q2 is pricey but you have built in a lens that retails for about 5 grand. When buy a Leica it has a world wide warranty. I bought my TL2 from a shop in the Netherlands (shipped to me for about $70 dollars, received in three days) and I had a fairly sizeable savings on the camera. I have used most major brands and Nikon for the last 40 or so years. I tried Canon long ago but every time they brought out a new camera, you needed a whole new set of lenses. If I need a long lens then I use my Nikon P950. Otherwise A Leica. Unless you have a lot of spare cash you will not be hauling around a lot of glass.

A whole new set of lenses for Canon?
This is a falsehood as it is not true. Canon mount changed once over 30 years ago and recently with the RF.
ALL the EF and EF-S work 100% on the RF bodies unlike Nikon which left all the F mount almost non functional on the Z cameras.
PS, ALL those manual Canon lenses mount and work fine manually as intended on the RF mount cameras including metering and stabilization if the body has it.
You can also do the same with all the old M39 Canon lenses as well.
Old Nikon AF lenses do not work as designed on Z cameras.
Doesn't the Leica-d-lux 7 come with an image editing program that the Panasonic version does not?.
Just testing my senior memory.

Computers come with editing programs already.
If PSE is included you are paying at least 10x what it can be purchased for.
