Snap Judgment
Shutterbugs are buzzing about this slick, high-quality camera.
BY LAYLA SCHLACK // PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN LAWTON The exalted German cameramaker Leica has been inventing new ways to snap beautiful pictures since 1923. Their latest offering, the limited-edition digital compact D-Lux 4 Safari, is just the thing for travelers looking to stylishly capture wildebeests and giraffes. The 10.1-megapixel camera has a 24- to 60-millimeter zoom lens and a three-inch LCD display with Leica’s own color-matching, contrast and picture-defi ning systems, so you know right away exactly how good your pictures look. Just as important, though, is how good you look when you're taking them.
