I am part way through culling my stock of c. 20k photos in Lightroom , to leave just definite keepers. When I got back to 2007/8 I was once again struck by just how good my digilux 2 photos were. They glow with colour. On reflection, I think only some more recent Monochrom pictures match the aesthetic pleasure derived. I can see me re-acquiring a good second hand model. The files are small...3.5 mb … and I was also struck by how little adjustment I needed to make in LR. We live and learn.

At the beginning of this century it was normal for a 14-year-old camera to remain operational. With digital cameras, however, this is no longer the case.
With the Digilux 2 it seems that we were wrong to retire it.
I think I appreciate it more today than I did 10 years ago.
This picture is from this weekend. Not retouched

My late and beautiful Nina. How I wish Leica would reissue the Digilux 2. I regret selling mine.

To keep it going, after 5 years of not having one. The obvious happened, bought a D2 again... 

For emotional reasons, happy to be able to take it out again! Natural bokeh is still nicer than smartphone “bokeh”

And another one, the detail here is amazing for a 5MP sensor. But I did not have to tell you that. We are doing that here for nearly 15 years.. ;)

I have been going through this thread as I was curious who was still shooting a D2, and why. Upon scrolling through the images, I am very impressed at how lovely the color is...far nicer, as far as I can tell, than most of the digital cameras I have seen. I am still using the Leica S006 for the same reason, though it is obviously quite a bit newer. I am glad that you all are able to keep using this camera and taking advantage of its lovely color and lens quality.

The superb colour is a hallmark of D2 pictures as you've found.  I still have 2 D2's although they don't venture out of the house as often as they might but I find that when I do take one of them with me I enjoy using it so much and its pictures so much that it gets used quite often for a while.

Pete.
