Leica D-Lux 2 Announced
Photoworkshop.com have published details about the new Leica D-Lux 2, an 8.4 megapixel digital camera which also supports images in the 16:9 format. The DLux 2 also offers a 4x optical lens equivalent to 28–112mm, 2.5 inch LCD screen and optical image stabilsation The Leica D-Lux 2 appears to be a rebranded version of the Panasonic DMC-LX1. The main differences seem to be a new Leica digital adapter for connecting the D-Lux 2 to a spotting scope (nature photographers rejoice) and a different accessories package. No word yet on price or availability, although the Leica D-Lux 2 is rumoured to be available in November.
