Review Summary

I bought this camera as a replacement for my Nikon D700 which felt on the water. I decided to wait for Nikon to release a successor to the D700 and in the mean time I bought this one. I have used this camera in every trip I have made since I bought it. I am totally satisfied with it. I took it to the Carnival in Rio and the resulting photos are fantastic. The Zoom is really powerful and the photos are very sharp even in low light with large zoom. I bought the accessory flash and the pictures with it are yet even better. Now that the V-Lux 30 has been released, maybe that becomes very competitive option vs this one if you prefer even a more compact camera.

Will never use all its features - but it is good to have them. Most compact system camera.

I use the camera for family photos and taking pictures of roses and orchids to enter in photo contests. It takes some time to fully understand all the controls

It has a through the lens,colour,sharp viewfinder that shows exactly what you get. It behaves very well in low light levels and the lens quality at high zoom is very impressive. I have no regrets!

The V-LUX 2 Digital Camera from Leica is an advanced digital camera with a 24x optical zoom lens. Its extremely versatile zoom range - 25 to 600mm in 35mm terms - makes the camera a great option for travel. It is capable of recording 14.1MP images in JPG or RAW format and can also capture 1080i HD video in the AVCHD format.
You'll have the option of framing images via a 3" articulating LCD screen or at eye-level via an electronic viewfinder (EVF). The LCD features a 460,000 pixel resolution and can be twisted and turned in almost any direction. The camera can record images in 14.1MP resolution using its Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 4.5-108mm f/2.8-5.2 ASPH lens. Fast enough for low-light use at the wide end, the camera features a built-in flash for those times when some extra light is necessary to get your shot. The camera supports ISO ranges from 80 to 1600 and shutter speeds from 1 minute to 1/2000 of a second.
The V-LUX 2 is capable of shooting burst images at 11fps at full resolution. If that isn't fast enough for you, the capture can be set to capture 2.8MP images at a stunning 60fps. And, of course, it is also capable of 1080i AVCHD video capture, complete with sound.
Leica bundles Adobe's Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements software package with the camera for photo and video editing. You'll be able to use this software bundle to organize and retouch photos and perform fine edits on video clips.
