Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Leica Digilux zoom combines high technical performance with elegant, ergonomic design. A 0.37-inch, 2.4-megapixel Fujifilm super CCD captures images that are saved at resolutions of up to 4.3 megapixels. Photographs are consistently well exposed and sharp with the camera's programmed automatic exposure control, contrast-based autofocus, and integrated automatic flash. The bright, 2-inch color LCD monitor provides a display on which photographs or movies up to 80 seconds in length can be framed and reviewed. The lens is always safe, thanks to an automatic metal lens cover. The Digilux comes complete with a 32 MB SmartMedia card. Pictures can be quickly downloaded to your PC or Macintosh via the USB port or viewed immediately on a TV set through a NTSC video connection. This package includes Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE software, two AA rechargeable batteries, and an AC adapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars DJL's Review, December 12, 2000

This is a great digital camera. It has a nice display screen (which is important since the view finder is very small and hard to use) but the camera is designed nicely to be held in the palm using the display screen. They supply a 32 meg smart media card and rechargable batteries/charger. Which is needed because they run out fast using display window. (I bought an extra 4 to keep in the carrying case) The picture quality is excellent and the added 80 second movie is a neat option. If you were considereing the Canon elph s100, take a second look at the Leica as it offers slightly larger size but double the picture quality for less than [price] and as always it has the phenomenal Leica lens. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Preety's Review, November 28, 2000

This review is from: Leica Digilux 4.3 2.4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I think this is a great product.Very easy to carry and 4.3 Megapixels gives beautiful shots. It has 32 mb memory which helps in storing large quantitities of high resolution pictures! Colors are Great and usability is very easy.Best part is that it uses 2 AA recharghable battries which are light so keeping a spare set for rotation is not a hassle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera and Good Attatchments, January 16, 2001

This review is from: Leica Digilux 4.3 2.4MP Digital Camera w/ 3x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

I asked for this camera for christmas a got it(horay)! The main reason was that I thought it had the highest resolution 4.3 megapix. In fact it does not and Fuji who made it have had to change their advertising which has been called misleading. It is like a 2.3 megapixal but used some funny formula to produce data files that have 4.3 megapizals, but the original picture does not. HOWEVER - it takes really great pictures and can do movies for up to 80 seconds (with included 32mb sancard) There are a wide range of settings - full automatic, manual, movie, night time, 'rapid fire' that takes 3 pictures one after another. The controls are easy to learn and can be manipulated with one hand. It is relatively small and fits in a pocket. I was pleased to find a macro attatchment for it (you also have to by a small base stand to attatch this to the camera). this allows you to take extreme close ups mainly of skin which is good for me as a Dermatologist! Although it does have difficulty with colors at extreme close ups, it has no problem that I can see without the macro. The pictures is produces are really great. I also have an Epsonn 875 color printer, when combind with good photographic paper to print on they really do look like amazing pictures. Now - I have not used digital cameras before so I can not really compare it, but I have seen other frineds camera and I really like my one. It is not as small as those Cannon Elfs. It only uses rechargeable batteries. Make sure you buy it online - it is at least... more expensive in most stores. Enjoy. Oh yea, it comes with easy to use software.
