A Leica compact with a fast f/2 Summicron zoom
The Digilux 2 pairs a 5MP CCD sensor with a Leica-designed 28-90mm equivalent zoom that holds an f/2 maximum aperture, a spec you rarely find on a fixed-lens compact from this era. That kind of light-gathering ability matters when you're shooting available-light street work or documentary frames where flash isn't an option.
Handling follows old-school logic: a top-plate shutter speed dial, a dedicated aperture ring on the lens barrel, and both aperture and shutter priority modes for photographers who want direct control instead of digging through menus. The 2.5-inch screen with 211,000 dots and electronic viewfinder give you two ways to compose, and manual focus is on hand for macro work down to 30 cm. RAW capture sits alongside JPEG at three quality levels, so you can process files later or shoot straight to Super Fine JPEGs for speed.
Shutter speeds run from 8 seconds to 1/4000 sec, covering long-exposure night scenes and bright midday work alike. A hot-shoe accepts external flash beyond the built-in pop-up's 4-meter range, and the body writes to SD/MMC cards over USB 2.0. This is a camera built around getting the exposure and framing right in-camera, the way Leica shooters expect.
Who It's For
Street photographers get real use from the f/2 zoom and electronic viewfinder combination, letting them shoot low-light urban scenes without raising ISO past 400. Documentary and travel shooters benefit from the 28-90mm equivalent range covering wide environmental shots through moderate telephoto portraits in one lens. Photographers who prefer manual control will appreciate the dedicated aperture ring and shutter speed dial alongside full aperture and shutter priority modes. Macro-curious shooters can work down to a 30 cm focus range for close-up detail without switching lenses. Anyone drawn to RAW workflows on a compact body has that option here too, with Super Fine JPEG as a faster alternative when speed matters more than post-processing latitude.
