Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Leica C-LUX 2 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: Extremely impressive pocket camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I am *extremely* impressed by this little Leica.
This will be a rather short review since this camera model is already, like, 300 years old in dog years.
I was able to pick a new one up for less than [...] on the internets from someone who clearly didn't know what they were parting with. When I inquired into why the party was selling she only told me that her husband needed something newer.
I have owned and used dozens of cameras (Leica, Nikon, Canon, Rollie, Mamiya) in my career.
The C-LUX 2 is an amazing unit in terms of color authenticity, image quality, zoom quality, sensitivity, precision, workmanship, and most of all: usability and convenience.
I cannot stress how perfect the menu system is on this camera. It's perfect and the controls are precise, accurate, and delightful to use.
Convenience means that having this camera in your pocket you will never miss a great shot no matter where you are. Yes it really is that good. With controls from scene mode to nearly manual you have precise control of your pictures. There is no reason you cannot achieve a National Geo picture with this camera.
When the C-LUX 2 debuted at [.........] it was really a Euro-jet-setting no-show. Now that you can find this gem below [....] it is a must have.
5 stars based on current market conditions and availability in late 2008. Good luck finding a mint unit. If you are indefatigable you will find no better camera in the same class at any price.
