Digital camera reviews of Leica C-LUX 1 6MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black)
Digital camera Review: Flexible features, excellent quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
The Leica C-LUX 1 is a little pricey, but you get an excellent, solid camera, easy to use right out of the box. I'm 70 years old and was dead set against getting a digital camera ("you can't teach an old dog to do new tricks" school of thought) But this camera sold itself. I use a photoelectric (no cord) slave flash if I need more flash, although the on-camera flash seems adequate for a small room. The manual is easy to follow for starting to take pictures, And there is further instruction for the great variety of applications this camera is able to perform. I have the black one, although there is a silver body available. I bought the "kit" which included an extra rechargable battery and a very nice leather case for under $70.00. Picture quality is outstanding due to the incredible quality of the Leica lens and good programmed exposure and distance controls. At my age, I think this is probably a "lifetime" purchase, but who needs more for the next 50 years?
