Consider what makes a camera a classic. It has to be of a certain vintage. When new it would have had innovative features. Those features will have stood the test of time. And it still works. Apply those criteria to film cameras and you come up with names such as Leica, Rolleiflex, Zeiss, Voigtl\u00e4nder and many more.<\/p>\n

Apply the same thinking to digital cameras and what do you get? Not a lot, actually. Few digital cameras have been around long enough for one to truly justify the term vintage.<\/p>\n

A particular model might have been innovative when new but its innovation was undoubtedly surpassed in the model that followed a year later. So no one single camera is likely to have stood the test of time. Also older digital cameras have a habit of failing to work. All of which begs the question: has there ever been, or will there ever be, a truly classic digital camera?<\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s where I stick my neck out and risk the wrath of readers flooding AP\u2019s Inbox pages next week to disagree. For my money, one digital camera qualifies as the first \u2013 and maybe even the last \u2013 to be called a classic. It was launched in 2003 and it was called the Leica Digilux 2.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

The Leica Digilux 2, a true classic among digital cameras<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

What came before<\/strong>
\nThe first digital camera from Leitz was the Leica S1 in 1997. It was little more than a scanner with a lens on front, aimed chiefly at studio photographers, museums, medical workers and the like. The first consumer cameras to bear the Leica name arrived in 1998 with the introduction of the 1.5MP Digilux.<\/p>\n

That was followed by the 1.5MP Digilux Zoom and then the 2.4MP Digilux 4.3 in 1999 and 2000. Each featured a vertically styled body with the lens and flash at the top of the front and the LCD screen at the base of the back. But they weren\u2019t really Leicas. All three were made by Fujifilm, then rebadged with a few cosmetic changes by Leica.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

The Fujifilm-made Leica Digilux 4.3 (left) with a Fujifilm Finepix 6800 Zoom that was the basis for the Leica Digilux Zoom<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Then came the Digilux 1, launched in 2002 and marking Leica\u2019s first collaboration with Panasonic, an association that continues today. Made from magnesium alloy with black and brushed chrome panels, the camera must have seemed retro even when new. It was a 4MP model with a 7-21mm f\/2-2.5 Vario Summicron lens coupled to a variable view in the all-glass viewfinder.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

Almost a classic: the Digilux 1 that preceded the Digilux 2 by a year<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

There was a 2.5in LCD screen on the back and the layout of controls was intuitively simple. The Digilux 1 came close to being a classic, and might have been the star of these pages, had it not been for the camera Leica launched in 2003.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

From then till now: the natural link between a 1954 Leica M3 rangefinder camera (left), the Digilux 2 and a modern Leica D-Lux 7 (right)<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The Leica Digilux 2<\/strong>
\nCompared to a modern digital camera, the Digilux 2 is not great. At 8.8×6.6mm, its 2\/3-inch CCD sensor is a fraction of the size of today\u2019s equivalents, and it delivers a mere 5MP. It won\u2019t accept SD cards above 2GB, the LCD display is low-resolution and the electronic viewfinder is pretty much useless in bright light. Autofocus is sluggish, shutter lag is noticeable and ISO is restricted to 100-400.<\/p>\n

And yet\u2026 Despite being bolted together by Panasonic, Leica\u2019s retro design influence is all over the Digilux and it has a good deal of Leica firmware on board too. The case is all metal, finished in a satin chrome look along the top and wrapped in a tactile rubber coating. In short, it looks like a Leica, it feels like a Leica and it behaves like a Leica. Turn off the automation and the Digilux 2 performs like a classic film camera. The 7-22.5mm (28-90mm 35mm equivalent) f\/2-2.4 Vario-Summicron lens has a zoom control operated, not by nudging levers, but by an actual collar around the lens.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

From the rear, the Digilux 2 has a large 2.5-inch LCD screen and neatly arranged push-button controls<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Likewise, apertures are set not by press buttons, but on a lens ring, and there\u2019s a real shutter-speed dial on the top plate. Focus is controlled by a rotating ring around the lens too. There\u2019s no rangefinder of course. That might have taken retro design a step too far. But, as you manually focus the lens, a small magnified rectangle appears in the centre of the screen to aid accuracy.<\/p>\n

Switching the automation back on is simple. Turn the focusing ring past infinity, press a dimple on the edge of the ring and it click-stops into AF or AF-Macro modes, while the zoom control remains satisfyingly manual. Set the shutter speed dial to \u2018A\u2019 and you have aperture priority. Set the aperture ring to \u2018A\u2019 and you have shutter priority. Set both to \u2018A\u2019 and you\u2019re all set for program automation. A lever on the top plate selects spot, centre-weighted or multifield metering.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

Maybe it\u2019s a Leica thing, but monochrome photography seemed more appropriate when shooting these subjects with the Digilux 2<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

There\u2019s a built-in flip-up flashgun, but it\u2019s unlike most others in that the touch of a button on the back of the body adjusts it to be used in either direct or bounced modes. Out and about with the Digilux 2 its handleability was terrific. I found it a lot like handling an old Leica M3 rangefinder camera. Admittedly, however, in bright sunlight picture composition was largely down to guesswork given the inadequacies of the electronic viewfinder.<\/p>\n

Having only 5MP to play with, and knowing there would be less than usual leeway for later cropping, I found myself concentrating more than usual when framing subjects, but the quality from the Leica lens was superb. When processing the Digilux images in Photoshop I found myself converting them time and time again to mono. I guess Leicas and monochrome photography just go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

View from the top, showing the Leica\u2019s traditional approach to zoom, focus and apertures on the lens, as well as the shutter speed dial on the top plate<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

When it was launched, the Digilux 2 cost \u00a31,300 (the equivalent of \u00a32,070 today), and it still commands \u00a3300-350, which is a lot of money for an 18-year-old digital camera. Is it worth that money? Honestly? Probably not. But speaking personally, I reckon the Digilux 2 is worth paying whatever you can afford just to own a classic that was very much the forerunner of the Leica D-Lux cameras and with a design still echoed in today\u2019s full-frame Leica Q and Q2.<\/p>\n

What came next<\/strong>
\nIn 2006, Leica, still in partnership with Panasonic, announced the Digilux 3. It was the first purely digital Leica with a mirror reflex system and interchangeable lenses. The lens mount was a bayonet type that used the Four Thirds system. The camera still retained some of the sleek-bodied good looks of its predecessor and it undoubtedly represented a step forward in Leica\/Panasonic design.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

The Digilux 3, equipped here with an Olympus Zuiko 14-42mm Four Thirds lens<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

But \u2013 and here again, this is just my opinion, feel free to disagree \u2013 it was a step away from the characteristic lines, so reminiscent of the classic Leica rangefinder cameras, first seen in the Digilux 1 and perfected in the Digilux 2. The Panasonic connection As part of the partnership with Panasonic, the Japanese camera company made its own versions of the Leica cameras.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"\t\t\t

The Panasonic DMC-LC1 is a Digilux 2 in a slightly different body<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Essentially, the Panasonic DMC-LC1 is a Digilux 2 in a slightly redesigned black body that sells for half the price of the Leica. So if you want the Leica experience without the Leica price, go for the Panasonic. Under the surface it\u2019s the same camera with the same great Leica lens. But for the purist or, let\u2019s face it, admittedly prejudiced camera nuts like me, there\u2019s one thing that the Panasonic simply isn\u2019t: it isn\u2019t a Leica.<\/p>\n
