My first digital camera was this Leica Digilux Zoom, a rebadged Fujifilm MX-1700, bought in Paris in May of 2000. It was a nice point and shoot for the time, 1.3MP, with an almost square field of view at 1280×1024. It still works! You can see the feature list at www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Leica/leica_digiluxzoom.asp.

This is one of the first shots taken with it, still in Paris.

Also taken with the Leica, on a flight of the now defunct Sabena. This photo is used on Patrick Smith’s Ask The Pilot website.

Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Low Res Digital Camera Collection, and we’d love to have this added to the group!

vtd17, at this time, cheap Leicas weren’t Panasonic, they were Fuji. And this model had an almost square ratio, 5:4.

hi PMP, ok. I think is an older model (1998) like digilux 4.3.
