    Leica C-Lux 2: Elegant Point-Shooter, Quick on the Draw

    We're big Leica fans around here, even if you're talking about the point-and-shoot C-Lux 2. An update of last year's C-Lux 1, it raises its megapixels to 7.2 but keeps that 2.5-inch viewscreen in the back.

    We like the short shutter delay of these Leicas, but best of all are their tack-sharp VARIO-ELMARIT lenses, and this 3.6x zoom retracts all the way into the camera body for pocket-sized totage. It's all packaged up in a satiny-smooth form factor, subtle but rich.

    You'll pay dearly for this elegance, though—the best price we could find for the C-Lux 2 is just under $500, a lot more expensive than many other comparably equipped 7-megapixel shooters. If that doesn't bother you, it ships in May. – Charlie White
