Leitz Digilux 1

The Digilux 1 is an early-2000s digital compact camera produced by Leica in collaboration with Panasonic. It pairs a 4-megapixel sensor with a fixed Vario-Summicron zoom lens, and was positioned as a higher-end enthusiast compact when new, with styling that referenced traditional rangefinder bodies.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Digilux 1 have ranged from about £85 to £340, with a median around £200 across the four sales on file. Today the camera's value at saleroom level is highly condition-sensitive: tidy, fully working examples with the original battery and charger sell for noticeably more than scuffed or untested bodies, which is why the price spread is so wide despite the small sample.
