I just mentioned a new digital camera that Leica has unveiled that had the style common of Leica offerings. Leica also has a new superzoom camera that it is debuting today called the V-Lux 2 that has a design more like a traditional digital camera more than the retro looks of most Leica offerings.

The new camera has a massive zoom range of 24x covering the 35mm focal range of 25 to 600mm. the camera has a 14.1MP sensor for high resolution and can record HD video in AVCHD format. The rear LCD of the camera is 3-inches and it has a resolution of 460k pixels. The camera can also shoot bursts at high speeds with 11 frames per second at full resolution.

When it comes to digital cameras there are tons of them on the market to choose from. Several cameras may look the same and offer similar specifications, but even with specs that are close, they are often not in the same class quality wise. One of the highest quality cameras on the market today comes from Lecia and the company has unveiled the new D-Lux 5 digital camera.

The camera has a resolution of 10.1MP and uses a Leica 5.1-19.2mm F/2-3.3 lens. The lens has a focal range equivalent to 24-90mm in 35mm format. The optical zoom is 3.8 times and the digital zoom is 4 times. The camera has a bunch of automatic and manual modes and can be used for macro photography.

2009 marked the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China and so Leica has a little gift to commemorate the event. The MP Golden Camera Limited Edition. The camera comes with a Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 Gold lens.

In fact both the camera and lens are coated in 24k gold, and the body is dressed in Leica Red Box calf leather. Only 60 of these will be available, so if you want one you better hurry.

Leica has now confirmed the limited edition Leica M7 Hermes Edition. This is the second collaboration between Leica and Hermes and there will only be 200 of these limited edition Leica M7s produced, 100 will be in orange and 100 in green. Each camera will also feature a special sequential serial number between 001 and 200.

All of the control elements of the LEICA M7 Edition ‘Hermès’ have been manufactured exclusively in metal, and the back of the camera is finished in silver chrome. While the red color of the engraved AUTO and flash settings on the shutter speed dial have been replaced by the shade of the camera’s leather.
