Leica D-LUX 2 with Leica DC Vario-Elmarit zoom 28-112mm lens. Excellent, like new condition!!!

The Leica D-Lux 2 is a digital point-and-shoot camera with an 8.4-megapixel CCD sensor. Featuring a 2.5" LCD display, the screen can be switched to a low-power mode without sacrificing image quality. You can switch on a "rule of thirds" grid, so if you have trouble keeping horizon lines straight, it'll be useful. Especially since the D-Lux 2 is a multi-format camera.

Moving a lever mounted on the side of the lens, you can switch the photographic format by selecting one of three possible aspect ratios.
Apart from the 4:3 format and the classic 3:2, and also the D-Lux 2 lets you make images in HD's 16:9 format at the imaging chip's full resolution. Not so with the others.

The DC Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.9 Aspherical zoom lens consists of nine elements in eight groups. A focal length equivalent of 28-112mm provides a wide range of possibilities for image composition. Leica says, "the optics have been individually matched to the camera sensor" and image quality was nothing short of outstanding.

The D-Lux 2 includes an integrated Image Stabilizer that can be switched on and off and compensates for camera shake to prevent blurred images and makes it possible to capture sharp pictures in low-light and twilight situations. A small button in front of the shutter release activates Anti-Shake mode and it never got in the way and was always available when needed. In Mode One, stabilization operates continuously and in Mode Two, activates only at the moment of capture.

Exposure modes include
- Programmed Automatic,
- Shutter-Speed Priority,
- Aperture Priority,
- Manual.

Options include:
- Portrait,
- Sport,
- Nighttime Landscape,
- Nighttime Portrait,
- Fireworks,
- Party,
- Snow,
- Self-Portrait,

- Candlelight,
- Starry Sky,
- Landscape.

Even under difficult lighting conditions that would freak out most cameras, the D-Lux 2 delivered accurate exposures. Bracket and Exposure Compensation modes are also available when you want to get the "perfect" exposure.

Color Effects include
- Cool,
- Warm,
- Black and White,
- and Sepia.
Unlike most in camera Sepia effects that are too orange, the D-Lux 2 produces effects that capture a true "sepia" mood. Black and White mode is spot on and just the ticket when you want to explore your inner Cartier-Bresson.

For traditionalists, manual focusing is accomplished by manipulating a joystick on the camera The autofocus is fast, accurate, and reliable with hardly any out-of-focus pictures. The camera's built-in flash looks like something Barbie might use to photograph Ken on his surfboard, but is surprisingly versatile.

The D-Lux 2 has an aluminum body and is bundled with a 32Gb SDXC UHS-I Ultra fast Secure Digital card, a charger and two batteries.

What is most impressive about the D-Lux 2 is that is has features Macro, Burst mode, the film frame aspect ratio, the color scene and exposure modes and Image Stabilization, the D-Lux 2 is hard to beat as a perfect vacation camera.
