Review (Summary): "Leica's 7.2-megapixel status symbol, the C-LUX 2 ($499 street), is certainly an attractive camera, with its sleek metal design and Leica's easily identifiable red dot logo. But at nearly $500, the camera's performance is more comparable to those in the $250-$350 range.
... The camera's optical image stabilization helped keep images sharp even at slow shutter speeds. Because the C-LUX 2 does not provide full manual exposure control we were not able to test image stabilization in the Pop Photo Lab, though positive results were noticeable in field tests...."
