D Lux 2003 !exclusive! | Leica

For 2003, the D-Lux produced respectable 3.2MP images suitable for 4×6" prints or web use. The Leica-branded lens offered good center sharpness and accurate color reproduction, though purple fringing appeared in high-contrast edges. Low-light performance was poor (max ISO 400 with heavy noise), and autofocus was slow by modern standards (0.5–1 second). Shutter lag was noticeable. The camera lacked manual exposure controls (only program auto), which disappointed serious photographers but suited casual users.

The Leica D-Lux may not be a cutting-edge camera by today's standards, but it's a significant piece of photographic history that continues to inspire photographers and camera enthusiasts alike. leica d lux 2003
