Small size, high quality,something else?

Everyone should have on of these, even though it's not a cheap camera, what else could you ask for? It is very small, has a great design, and it's a LEICA... enough said...

Excellent pocket camera

Great camera to throw in the pocket for a night out, travel, parties. Low light pics can be very noisy, so keep the ISO low if possible. Very classy design and high quality feel. Very small, fits easily into shirt pocket. Pics at low ISO are sharp, with great color.

I love this camera!

This is my fourth digital camera - my second Leica. Unfortunately, the first one, an early compact model, was stolen, along with the card, on my way home from Paris. Consequently I also lost a lot of pictures of that experience, much to my dismay. The technology of digital photography has come so far since then that there really is no comparison in quality, megapics or features. This camera is perfect for those times when a digital SLR is not appropriate, though I haven't used it much in low light conditions. My only cons would be that there isn't a manual viewfinder and there isn't a lot of "help" included in the camera itself. The user manual covers everything that I've had a question about so far, however. Legendary Leica quality and superior craftsmanship. The larger LCD screen is particularly nice, as well as the affordable price tag.

I'm thrilled

I'm extremely disapointed in the lag time for taking a picture.I take a lot of wildlife pictures and they require perfect timing. This camera will not take a picture at the same time as you snap it. There is at least a second lag. Everything else is great.

I love this camera

I love this camera, most stylish in class plus the fact that it's so small so powerful it will be a camera to be proud of for years to come. Very user-friendly just pure fun and yes it is so easy to sneak into no camera events and works well in silent and low light situations. Yes a bit pricey but paid for itself the first day. So much more of a statement than Nikon Cannon or the rest Photo quality excellent just what you would expect from Lrica

A little expensive but after all you are buying a "Leica", and that translates to excellent quality and company support.

• If you value style but not weight when you're searching for great images, you'll love the ultra compact Leica C-LUX 2! It sports a classic metal body and measures just 3-1/2 x 2 in, it fits into even the smallest pocket. The elegant exterior design is unmistakably Leica and is matched by an immaculate standard of optics and digital technology inside.

The high-speed wide-angle 28 mm zoom lens takes stunning, space-grabbing shots. The optical image stabilizer and the intelligent exposure control prevent camera shake and ensure optimum definition. The 7.2 megapixel CCD sensor enables superlative prints up to poster size.

The extra large 2.5" display, the image stabilization and short shutter delay of the Leica C-LUX 2 all guarantee carefree photography with high-quality results. Fast, discreet snapshots captured on the fly or picture perfect compositions at twilight or in other tricky conditions - everything is possible with the Leica C-LUX 2.

The VARIO-ELMARIT zoom lens retracts entirely into the camera body at the flick of the 'off' switch. Whether you're a partygoer, beachcomber, city stroller or nature lover, the Leica C-LUX 2 is always a dependable companion - any time, any place, you'll never miss another photo.
