Leica V-Lux 2 announcement clippings

The super-zoom compact for travel and nature photography : the Leica V-Lux 2 is the perfect camera for adventurers, globetrotters and nature-lovers who want to discover more of the world.
Thanks to its powerful 24x optical super-zoom lens with an enormous equivalent focal-length range of 25 to 600 mm, it is extremely flexible. The 3" LCD display can be twisted and turned in almost any direction and makes it easy for photographers to compose pictures from even the most unusual angles. It captures images of outstanding quality and features full-HD-video function plus an amazingly fast 11 images per second in continuous shooting mode. The V-Lux 2 is the ideal tool for globetrotters with a passion for exploring the parts of world that are still off the beaten track.

Another highlight of the V-Lux 2 is its ability to shoot videos in 1080i-AVCHD Full HD. This feature is often found only in high-quality digital camcorders and, in contrast to the usual M-JPEG format it uses about 50 % less memory - without any compromise in terms of brilliant image quality. The entire 24x zoom range is available during video recording, and an integrated stereo microphone with an electronic wind-noise filter guarantees a crystal-clear soundtrack. What's more, the V-Lux 2 also features an option for shooting still pictures in video capture mode.
