Digital photography in a new light
Leica Camera AG
forges ahead with an independent position in the digital era by
combining the current best of two worlds : The new LEICA DIGILUX 2
features modern digital technology and the proven concepts of analog
photography in a splendid combination. It is the first digital camera
that can be operated like a classic professional camera. With the
shutter speed dial on the top cover, the focusing ring and the setting
rings for aperture and focal length on the lens, its operation is familiar,
fast and precise. That makes the LEICA DIGILUX 2 the ideal tool for
expressive images in an individual style. And because the results
must be brilliant even in poor light situations, its core component is a
high-performance lens with 13 elements in ten groups, incorporating
valuable optical glasses as well as the legendary optical competence
of Leica. That and its optimal harmonization with the sensor and
the electronics lead to photographs with extraordinary quality. The
LEICA DIGILUX 2 with its ingenious features thus carries on the trend
that began so successfully with its predecessor Digilux 1, itself the
recipient of many awards. The classic styling with structured rubber
covering and the rugged magnesium body furthermore make it a
durable reportage camera in our fast-paced era.
Scale 1:1
“The LEICA DIGILUX 2 is an expression of our loyalty to the craft of
photography. At Leica, pictorial results and creativity are the priority,
not whether the picture is exposed by digital or analog means.
With the Digilux 2 we are providing photographers with a tool that
enables them to search for those magic moments as intuitively as
they did with their familiar analog professional cameras. The positive
respect for tradition, even in product development, is the basis for
products with great value retention. Now that the digital photo
market has established itself, there is still room for solutions that
bring together tradition and modernity.”
