The third new camera from Leica is the the DIGILUX 3 (essentially a Panasonic DMC-L1). The company’s first integrated digital SLR represents something of a departure as it uses the Four Thirds system rather than Leica’s own reflex lens mount. This camera obviously comes as a kit with the LEICA D 14 – 50 mm ASPH (F2.8 – F3.5) lens with built-in optical image stabilization. (While this camera is based on the DMC-L1 it has had image processing adjustments as defined by Leica).
