I stumbled upon this photography app while scrolling through ads, and honestly, it feels like a cash grab by a big brand, like do we really need another photo app when there are already so many good ones out there… But hey, maybe it'll surprise us, though I kind of doubt it

Seriously, another photo app from a camera company, tho I see they’re trying to bring the whole iconic look to iPhone photos, I wonder how this will stand out against all the other apps already out there, seems like it’s aiming high but what about those basic features we rely on everyday, have they considered integrating a more seamless sharing option or maybe more advanced editing tools for after the pic is taken, does it support RAW format properly, or is it just another fancy gimmick, curious to see how they’ll keep us hooked

I get that Leica wants to jump into the smartphone era, but does the world need another photo app, didn't we already see countless attempts at this, sure the app aims to bring the iconic Leica look to our iPhones but can an app truly replace the art of using a physical camera, I doubt it

Sure, it's cool that we've an app from such a big name in cameras, but does anyone really think an app can replace a good camera, seems more like a gimmick to me, what do you guys think
How much of the iconic Leica look they can really capture through software alone. Do you think this signals a shift in their strategy, moving away from hardware dominance?
@kyrylosilin doubtful a move away from their hardware, and more like using apps as marketing tools for higher end equipment.
Since they also charge for filters in the app, it's probably another way to diversify their revenue streams and leverage their iconic brand.

do you have a photo filter like lycra? can you handle photos like raw format to show the shadow details, instead of just doing color mixing on jpg? I am looking forward to it.

Congrats on the launch, @chrismessina! Leica LUX seems like a fantastic tool for bringing professional camera controls to smartphones. The app's promise to deliver the iconic Leica look is exciting.
I'm curious, are there any particular features that stand out in terms of ease of use or unique capabilities compared to other photography apps? 🎉
