Overview
The Leica C-Lux 2 is a digital compact made by Leica. It has a fixed DC Vario-Elmarit ASPH lens and a slim-line body. The 3.6x optical zoom covers a 35mm equivalent range of 28-102mm, so it goes from wide-angle scenes to a moderate telephoto. The sensor is a 1/2.5-inch CCD at 7.2 megapixels (approximate), and the maximum image size is 3072 x 2304 pixels. It comes in white or black. It has built-in image stabilization and a 2.5-inch polycrystalline LCD with 207,000 pixels for composing and playback. Storage is SD, SDHC or MMC cards, and an orientation sensor rotates images automatically.
