Leica V-Lux 2

I had the chance to play with the new Leica V-Lux 2 camera for few minutes in my local Leica SIS. The camera is lighter (520 g/18.34 oz) and is smaller than its predecessor, the V-Lux 1. The first thing that caught my attention was the swivel 16:9 LCD display (3.0″ TFT LCD, 460,000 pixels, 100% FOV) – it was way better than the LCD screens on the D-Lux 4 and M9 that I was able to compare it with, very bright and clear (even though the specs show that the D-Lux 4 has the same type of display but with 3:2 dimensions). I was not crazy about the EFV.

The ISO sensitivity did not change since the V-Lux 1- the max ISO is still 1600. Here are few samples at 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 ISO (100% crop):

LeicaRumors is moving to a new server

By LR admin | Published: October 13, 2010

LeicaRumos.com may be down for a short period of time, while I redirect the traffic to the new dedicated server. It may take several days for your ISP to propagate the DNS changes and update their routers. If you cannot reach the site, clear your browser’s cache and hit the refresh button (I will keep the site active on the old server for few days). Sorry for the inconvenience.
