A beautifully crafted metal body and M-System styling make Leica's Digilux 2 stand out from competing cameras - as does its high price tag. Unlike many high-end digicams, where zoom, aperture and focus are accessed via lever/rocker switches or menu settings, on the Digilux 2, these settings are the same as on a film camera. Metering options (centre-weighted, multi-field and spot) are selected via a ring surrounding the shutter button. Click-stops minimise the risk of accidental setting changes. The DC Vario-Summicron lens is big, very fast and distortion-free and its aperture range is much wider than most digicams provide.

On 1st December 2003 Leica announced the all new Digilux 2 digital camera. The five megapixel Digilux 2 has a unique 'retro' design and style with an all metal case and rubber coating which look more like an analogue film camera of the 1970's. The quality 28 - 90 mm equiv. F2.0 - F2.4 Leica lens has the appearance of a removable 35 mm lens (although it is fixed to the camera body). The controls have a tactile response and have been cleverly designed to be used in a fully automatic position or an immediate manual setting.
