Difficult to describe, it's that moment you pick up an instrument and instinctively know it has an innate fitness of purpose.Use the controls of the Digilux 3 and they will feel familiar, even though you're touching them for the first time.
Focusing, altering the shutter speed, adjusting the aperture and changing the lens are all physical, on-camera operations. All with the classic directness of a Leica M built - say - fifty years ago.
In fifty years time, the Digilux 3 will probably be revered as the first icon of the early digital age.
Leica stands for photographic tools that concentrate on the essentials and encourage creative users to capture their own view of the world. The LEICA DIGILUX 3 is a fusion of the latest digital technology with the traditional values of superlative image quality, intuitive operation and a timelessly beautiful design. The intuitive operation of this system camera is partly the result of designing all the controls to suit photographers' needs. No nested menus, no complicated technology.
