Leica C-Lux 1
4.0

An attractive-looking, pocketable digicam with some useful features for family photographers and an excellent software bundle.The Leica C-Lux 1 has so much in common with Panasonic's DMC-FX01 model that we suspect both cameras came from the same factory - readers may wish to check the review of the FX01 on this site to see how they compare. Both cameras have the same minimalist styling, with much of the rear panel covered by a 2.5-inch LCD, which doubles as a viewfinder. Both models are based on a 6-megapixel imager coupled to a Leica-branded 3.6x optical zoom lens (28-102mm equivalent in 35mm format) with integrated Mega O.I.S. image stabilisation.

The Leica C-Lux pocket camera is a premium edition of the Panasonic ZS200. It's prettier, but also pricier.

Leica C-Lux review: This is no ordinary point-and-shoot, even if it looks like one. The capabilities of C-Lux are more akin to a mirrorless camera and not a compact.

Leica's photographic heritage shines through with a quality piece of kit. It's not the quickest camera ever, though.
