Leica Digilux 3 Digital Camera

The LEICA DIGILUX 3 gives ambitious amateurs and professional photographers a whole new range of possibilities. The Digilux 3 is the first camera of the Digilux family with an interchangeable lens. The clear design of the camera housing and the operating concept of the Digilux are in keeping with the best Leica tradition. The shutter speed, focal length, aperture and focus can be set by hand on the camera and the lens - a fast, precise and creative solution in comparison with conventional SLR cameras. The interplay of Leica's legendary performance and the latest technology is almost revolutionary: the newly designed lens LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT f/2.8-3.5/14-50 ASPH. combined with state-of-the-art optical image stabilization and a 7.5 megapixel LiveMos sensor result in a magnificent standard of imaging. High-quality materials and precision craftsmanship ensure that the LEICA DIGILUX 3 will work reliably for many years, even under the tough conditions of reportage photography.

A fusion of classic design and modern technology

Leica stands for photographic tools that concentrate on the essentials and encourage creative users to capture their own view of the world. The LEICA DIGILUX 3 is a fusion of the latest digital technology with the traditional values of superlative image quality, intuitive operation and a timelessly beautiful design. The intuitive operation of this camera is the result of designing all the controls to suit photographers' needs. No nested menus, no complicated technology.

Razor-sharp images

A real première: For the first time, Leica has combined outstanding optical imaging performance with state-of-the-art image stabilisation in a D lens. Whenever you want to avoid camera shake, just switch on the image stabilizer (O.I.S.). Integrated in the lens, it ensures sharply focused images in all situations - in twilight, for indoor exposures or in the zoom range. The image stabiliser is a reliable help for exposures taken without a tripod, too.

Excellent overview

You won't miss a thing with the LEICA DIGILUX 3 - whether you look through the optical viewfinder or at the Realtime Preview, which enables real-time assessment of the entire subject and the exposure in the display. Thanks to the ultra fast and highly precise action of the autofocus and the image processing and storage, all important moments can be captured and assessed on the brilliant high-resolution 2.5" display.

All-round cover - inclusive
