Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The sleek C11 is Leica's first venture into the APS format. It features a 3x zoom and midroll change, which allows you to choose between three picture formats (classic, group, or panoramic) and to change partially exposed films. The C11 is quite compact and extremely simple to operate. The 3x aspherical zoom glass lens permits optimum framing, has drop-in automatic loading with optical double-exposure protection, automatic film speed setting, and active autofocus.

It also has a pop-up multiprogram flash with red-eye-reduction, fill-flash, and night-portrait modes. The Leica C11 has an elegant, timeless design with an ergonomic, durable metal casing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why buy the Leica c11?, November 17, 2002

This review is from: Leica C11 APS Camera, Black (Electronics)

This is a GREAT camera!The author is a serious advanced amateur, having two Hasselblads, a 4x5 rail camera, Canon EOS 3, Leica M3, 25+ lenses, etc. Did I mention a Nikon Coolpix 800? So, where does the C11 fit in? NOTHING is as small and light. This camera is about the size of a deck or cards! The lens is great for the 4x6 prints (if I want 16x20, there are better choices). But it is great for snapshots! Why is it better than the Coolpix? Better lens resolution AND the batteries aren't always dead!
The flash works well to about ten feet. You can just pick this up, turn it on, and take a nice photo in about three seconds. I have lots of cameras that can take good photos, but it takes half and hour to get ready.This camera is easy to hold (I really like the round bulge on the side, very gripable). All the unique APS features are present (panorama mode, date, mid-roll change, etc.).I bought this for my mother-in-law and had to get one for myself! You rarely go wrong with a Leica product; the C11 is another winner!
