Excellent post, I very much enjoyed reading this article! I have a Q and love it. I agree with you about it being an great travel camera. I read that you were using some filters with it. I've not tried to use any filters with mine yet, which ones did you have a chance to try out on the trip?
-
Thanks Scott! I brought a 6-stop B+W ND filter. I knew I'd be in touristy places with lots of people, so I used it to achieve longer shutter speeds and blur out crowds. Worked well!

A bit late to the party, but I’ve recently ordered a Q and am now trawling through old posts to see what others think of it and see some beautiful images. This is a Great post with some beautiful photos. Can’t wait to get out there with mine.
Cheers,

Leica Camera once again led the way at Photokina this past September with the announcement of several new, large-sensor compact cameras including: the Leica X (Typ 113), Leica X-E (Typ 112), Leica D-Lux (Typ 109) […]-
First, I'd suggest using Adobe Lightroom, not Apple Photos to process the RAWfiles from the V-Lux. Secondly, the Col Effects apply only to JPGs generated in camera, not to RAWfiles. If you are shooting RAW only, you wouldn't see the effects in the computer.
-
Bill,
We always recommend shooting in RAW and processing in the latest version of Lightroom. LR5 is a bit long in the tooth. I'd suggest you subscribe to the Adobe CC Photography Plan which includes Lightroom Classic CC and Photoshop CC.

- Leica V-Lux (Typ 114)

Hopefully this is an indicator that an Adobe Lightroom update will be coming soon with the same support.

A nice useful report.
I had previously wondered at the flash placement worried that so close to the lens it would flash back on any suspended particles in the water. But you explained the plus of the flash not being shadowed by the lens itself.
I had not realized this was the only UW camera without a case that shoots RAW. I have a friend John who loves Leica, diving and fishing and this will do it for him.

Excellent article. Just one small correction to the opening para: first digital RF was Epson RD1, not the M8
I haven't done underwater yet since someone else is going to do that with my camera – soon they say. But I have done quite a lot of shooting on land, and the X-U reminds me very much of the X1 that I had, with many improvements, not the least of which is the f1.7 lens.
