Camera Overview — Leica V-LUX 2

The Leica V-Lux 2 is a bridge-style point-and-shoot camera built around a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, powered by the Venus Engine FHD image processor. The ISO range runs from 100 to 1600, keeping noise in check across typical shooting conditions. For composition, shooters have the choice of a 3.0-inch fully articulated TFT LCD at 460,000 dots or an electronic viewfinder (EVF) running at 60Hz with a resolution of 202,000 dots — a useful combination for outdoor shooting or low-angle framing.

Autofocus uses a contrast detection and face detection system across 23 focus points, with subject tracking enabled for moving subjects. The camera tops out at 4320x3240 still resolution and supports burst shooting at up to 11 frames per second. Video maxes out at 1080p with frame rate options including 60i, 30p, and 60fps, recorded in 8-bit color.

Five color profiles are available for both stills and video: Standard, Vivid, Natural, Black & White, and Sepia. Optical image stabilization is on board. Storage uses SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards, and the camera includes a standard ISO hot shoe alongside a built-in pop-up flash.

Connectivity includes USB, Mini HDMI output, and a 2.5mm microphone jack. The body weighs 520g and measures 124 x 80 x 95mm with no weather sealing.
