Leica Digilux 3, Brochure

Digital photography with a system benefit

  The new 

Leica D system offers ambitious amateurs and professional photog-

raphers unique new options. As the first digital compact camera, 

the previous model already handled like a classic analog model. The 

LEICA DIGILUX 3 is now consistently proceeding with this success-

ful concept and opening up new options at the same time. It is the 

first Digilux camera with an interchangeable lens and thus forms 

the basis for the Leica D system, an entirely independent digital 

single-lens reflex system. The clear-cut lines of the housing and the

operating concept of the Digilux 3 are consistent with the best Leica

tradition has to offer. This means shutter speed, focal length, aper-

ture and focus can be set manually on the camera and the lens –

fast, precise and creative handling in comparison with conventional 

digital single-lens reflex cameras. Virtually revolutionary is the inter-

action between the outstanding imaging performance typical of 

Leica and state-of-the-art technology : first-class image quality is 

achieved thanks to the newly developed lens LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 

14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH. in combination with the latest optical 

image stabilization and the 7.5 megapixel Live-MOS sensor. High-

quality, precision-crafted materials ensure that the LEICA DIGILUX 3 

will function reliably in the long term, particularly also including 

in the demanding photojournalism sector. The Leica D system will 

prove a valuable companion over the years.
