Yes, a moment can indeed last a lifetime, but only if it is captured in some fashion. And photography is still the easiest way to accomplish this. To capture beautiful and important moments in life, Leica Camera AG has designed a new compact camera: the Leica C1.The Leica C1 quickly proves itself as a reliable companion in a world full of visual stimuli that often demand the ability to make an on-the-spot decision: Wouldn't now be just the right opportunity to take a picture to make this special moment last a lifetime? All too often we experience situations at work or in our leisure time when a compact high-performance camera would be wonderfully useful. Not only does the Leica C1 satisfy all these needs, it does so with exquisitely refined style. Right from the start, its rugged aluminum body fits comfortably and securely in the palm of your hand, and its pleasingly rounded edges assure ergonomic handling. The clean lines of its shape are reminiscent of the legendary Leica M camera system. In addition, the use of high-grade materials assures its user of the superb quality that is very rarely found in other compact cameras. Every exterior component of the Leica C1 exists not merely for its visual appeal, it has a logical function to fulfill.Therefore it is not surprising that all the operating elements of the Leica C1, such as its sensitive zooming key or the glossy black buttons on its top, are always within easy reach, so that the camera is delightfully easy to use. This smooth handling is enhanced even further by the lightly rubber-armored molded material on the top and bottom of the Leica C1 camera, which contributes visual appeal while it ensures non-slip handling in any situation. However, there are sophisticated interior features to match the handsome exterior appearance, such as its modern optical system of seven lens elements in seven groups that was designed by the optics specialists in Solms, Germany especially for the 38-105 mm VARIO-ELMAR zoom lens; programmed automatic exposure control for optimal exposures; precise autofocus; and a flash unit that automatically turns itself on when needed.This list could be extended with additional highlights, but the result is already evident: the advanced technology of the Leica C1 camera produces high- quality pictures in any situation, as befits every member of the Leica family. Whenever a special moment is to be preserved for a lifetime, the Leica C1 compact camera is the camera to make this wish come true."
