Old it might be, but it beats the pants off the majority of modern day cameras.

 

Anyway, shhhhhh - there's a whole load of us on here who are going around buying up the available stock, so stop telling everyone how good it is, otherwise we might end up with a shortage :p

im impress, the digilux 2 is so old now and so many threads about it, sometimes more than the leica m8.

 

definitely a cult camera.

imnotaniceboy, judging by the quantity of postings in this forum, I think you are right. The D2 is a cult camera which is quite interesting considering the advances in technology since it was designed.

I have a Digilux 2 and shoot a Canon Rebel XSI 12 mb camera side by side taking the same shots, the Digilux has twice the keepers of the Canon and even sent a brand new 60 2.8 macro lens back to Canon for adjusting as wasn't even close to the digilux in sharpness==happy with the Digilux :) :)

As posted in another thread, I have just purchased a DMC-G1, but haven't had a chance to shoot anything with it because I agreed to let Michael Johnston borrow it for a few weeks so he can review it for TOP and shipped it off to him last Friday. While I'm optimistic about its performance, the quality of the snapshots I took with my D2 while hiking yesterday (the majority of them taken without breaking my stride!) remind me just how high it has set the bar for its (eventual) replacement.

Couldn´t agree more! I have used the D2 as a walk about and am happy even in low light conditions handheld with and without flash.

love your D2 shots of the desert.

 

i took mine on a trip to the desert (USA) and came home with the best batch of handheld snapshots i ever came home with.

 

here's one of them (i hope this image upload works, i don't do it often).

 

to my point (made many times before): torch the specs .... look at the images ... the Leica D2 is just incredible.
