Description — Leica Digilux
The Leica Digilux is a point-and-shoot digital camera built around a 1/2-inch, 1.5MP sensor capable of a maximum still image resolution of 1536x1024 pixels. Its metal body with a bronze-gold finish gives it a distinctive appearance, with dimensions of 80 x 101 x 33 mm and a weight of 245g. The camera features an optical viewfinder alongside a 2.0-inch TFT-LCD display for image review and composition.
A built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, and Red-Eye Reduction modes. Focusing is manual focus only, centered on a single central focus point. The ISO is fixed at 125, and there is no image stabilization on board.
Images are stored to Memory Stick media, and the camera operates on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated for approximately 100–150 shots per charge. Connectivity is absent across all categories, making this a self-contained, standalone shooting device suited to collectors or enthusiasts with an interest in early digital camera history.
