Photo Made with Leica Digilux 3

I bought an old Leica Digilux 3 on eBay and when I got it everything was packed in the box exactly as from the factory. It looks brand new and actually doesn't look like it has ever been used. So I started playing with it to learn how it shoots and came away very impressed!

From Microsoft Copilot - "The Leica Digilux 3, a digital single-lens reflex camera, made its debut on September 14, 2006. This camera was a departure from Leica’s usual reflex lens mount, as it adopted the Four Thirds system. The Digilux 3 shared specifications with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1, both utilizing the Four Thirds standard lens mount and featuring a 7.5 Megapixels live view N-MOS sensor. However, the Digilux 3 had modified firmware that included DNG output."
"Here are some key features of the Leica Digilux 3:
Lens Mount: Interchangeable Four Thirds mount.
Sensor: 17.3 × 13.0 mm Four Thirds System RGB Live MOS sensor.
Maximum Resolution: 3136 × 2352 (7.4 effective Megapixels).
Lens: It came standard with the Leica Elmarit 14–50 mm f/2.8–3.5 optically image-stabilized zoom lens.
Controls: The Digilux 3 featured film-camera type controls for both aperture and shutter speed.
Flash: Built-in dual-position flash for bounce-flash or direct flash.
Software Package: Included Adobe® Photoshop® Elements® 4.0 and Quicktime movie player.
Production Quantity: Only 13,300 units of the Digilux 3 were made, making it somewhat rare.
Designed by Achim Heine, the Digilux 3 combined classic styling with modern functionality, appealing to photography enthusiasts who appreciated its intuitive controls and Leica heritage. Although its production duration isn’t explicitly specified, it remains a cherished piece among Leica aficionados."

I got a steal on a camera that originally sold for $3800, and it is in brand new conditions besides! Such fun to play with!

Great results, as we can see not much has changed from those rather early days of digital cameras. Those 4/3rds cameras and lenses were top of the line. V
