Description — Leica C (Typ112)
The Leica C (Typ112) packs a 12MP sensor into a body measuring just 4.1 x 2.5 x 1.1 inches and weighing 195g, making it one of the more carry-friendly options in the point-and-shoot category. The 1/1.7-inch sensor captures stills at up to 4000x3000 pixels, and the camera's ISO 80–6400 range handles a variety of lighting conditions. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built in to reduce the impact of camera movement.
For composing shots, you have the choice of a 3.0-inch, 921k-dot TFT LCD or an electronic viewfinder at 200k dots. When the moment calls for speed, the burst mode delivers up to 10fps. Video capability reaches 1080p at 50fps.
Autofocus uses a contrast-detection system. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi and USB, and the camera accepts SD, SDHC, and SDXC storage cards.
