Review
C-LUX 1 is a Panasonic OEM compact digital camera released by Leica. The original camera is LUMIX DMC-FX01.
Please note that the battery is BP-DC4, which is the same model number as D-LUX 1, D-LUX 2, D-LUX 3, and D-LUX 4, and is different from C-LUX2 and C-LUX3.
The lens has a focal length of 28mm at the wide-angle end, a common focal length for compact cameras at the time, and a zoom range of 102mm at the telephoto end, approximately 3x from the wide-angle end, which is also standard specifications.
The C-LUX1 was released in black and silver, the black is a glossy black that remains unchanged up to the C-LUX3, and the silver is a matte silver with a calming feel. This matte silver is used in C-LUX1 and C-LUX2. C-LUX3 comes in black and white color variations.
It’s a slightly thick camera, but the design feels like it’s been sublimated with Leica taste.
Although it has 6 million pixels, the performance is sufficient for an older compact digital camera, and the rear LCD display is slightly overexposed, so highlights appear to be blown out. However, when viewed on a PC, it displays properly, so the quality of the rear LCD display feels old.
ISO 100 is difficult to use in dark places, and the image stabilization function MEGA OIS seems to be less effective.
This camera was purchased second-hand and was shipped in a very worn genuine LEICA box, but it appears to have been handled with great care and is in good condition with no noticeable scratches.
