As Leica's first digital camera with an 8.4 megapixel CCD image sensor, the LEICA D-LUX 2 enables unlimited image reproduction in the 16:9 format. The image impression is enhanced even further by the powerful 4x zoom lens LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT f/2.8-4.9/6.3-25.2 ASPH. with pronounced wide-angle range. Due to its ultra compact design, the LEICA D-LUX 2 is ideal for those spur- of-the-moment shots that require speed and extreme flexibility. In such situations, users will particularly appreciate the integrated image stabilizer which prevents blurred images all the way through to the telephoto range, even under difficult light situations. Thanks to its versatile functions, the LEICA D-LUX 2 offers unlimited photographic potential! The combination of manual settings and the various scene modes creates scope for individuality. Due to the successful symbiosis of state-of-the-art digital technology and Leica's optical expertise in a compact camera, the D-Lux 2 is ideal for capturing life's most beautiful moments, however unexpected.
