Review with using the LEICA compact digital camera C-LUX2.

Impression
The exterior is a Leica design with a modern exterior that is distinctly different from Pana’s consumer electronics-like exterior. The size is slimmer than the C-LUX1 and almost the same as the next version, the C-LUX3, making it thin and stylish. The black version available this time is matte black with no glossy finish and has a subdued color tone.
The 7.2 megapixel camera has a slightly higher pixel count than the 6 megapixel camera of the C-LUX1.
The lens has a noticeable barrel distortion at the wide-angle end when shooting grid-like objects.
It is an old-fashioned digital camera with a noise buzz at ISO 800.
The file size of a single image is about 1.5 to 4 MB, and using a 32 GB SDHC, the number of shots counter exceeds 1,000, making it feel as if it can take an almost infinite number of shots.
The shutter response time is about 3 shots, and then there is a wait for the next shot to be written. Since this is not a camera that shoots continuously, this is not likely to be a problem.
